What's up with the new web site?
« on: September 20, 2013, 02:30:57 PM »
There's a banner on the upper 1/3 that's 90% blank space. There's the bottom 1/3 with one banner each for Twitter and Facebook (neither of which I use) and another 1/3 for the actual web site information which is hard to difficult to read info about the balls. Then there's major changes to the window if you dare move your cursor.

Beyond this, where are the data about the retired or archived balls?

Survey says - Why spend money on server space for products they no longer make money on?

To add to that... I've notice that almost every time a company updates and revamps their website the content for retired equipment gets condensed to a point where it is barely of any value.

To finish - Learn how to utilize sites like http://archive.org/web/web.php

You can find a fair amount of old information using that site...  IF the original website wasn't riddled with shockwave and flash content.  I miss the days of the clean, easy to navigate, HTML based web site.

I was also involved with IT before I retired. User friendly interfaces is a concept that seems to have lost any significance in the current computer environments. Designers seem to be to busy to ask customers for important input like that. Pity. It's a take or leave it world now, I guess.
