Navigation is long-winded but clear. www.informix.com: 8 seconds: Better, but not really worth the extra wait. Navigation is good. www.microsoft.com: 13 seconds: No better than Informix. Still they've obviously got a sense of humour, with a front page link to "DoJ vs the freedom to innovate".... :-) Navigation is long-winded and tricky. www.ibm.com: 14 seconds: No better than Informix. Navigation is probably the worst I've ever seen on any website. www.sybase.com: 17 seconds: Nice looking site -- but 17 seconds? Navigation is difficult. ("Navigation" was an attempt to get the online manuals for there database server) Now am I a life donor or what? :0) So maybe it's not that bad when compared to its peers.... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
