Tremedous waste of 8 seconds.
(I got a intro page (sigh) and then a 404)

<tip>
When doing usability tests, even a fast one usually gets you loads of great 
results. If you're the only usability guy in a web development company, 
invite a colleague, tell them the rules (shut up, watch and make notes), 
and let them participate as a second observer. Afterwards, come to 
conclusions together with them. You can invite coders, designers, project 
managers, ... It's a great way to spread the awareness of usability 
concerns in your company. (and to get better results, two people always see 
more than one)  Also: when you do the coming-to-conclusions after the test 
with your colleague, go somewhere quiet and have a drink with it. It will 
make them associate usability with relax and fun and want to do more tests.
