saw a really nice print ad in a german magazine the other day (no, i don't
usually read magazines at all, i happened to buy this one for my dad for
father's day)

it was for a really sharp looking compact car, and the ad was extremely well
done

so the ad included their url, which i visited today -- www.smart.com

what a POS!!

(that's a technical web development term that means PIECE OF SHIT)

it wouldn't come up in opera at all

it crashed netscape4 completely

it doesn't fit into an 800x600 window, yet it has no horizontal or vertical
scrollbars!!

it uses nested framesets

most everything is text-in-a-gif

[sigh]

i haven't seen incompetence on such a grand scale in a long time

sorry for posting it here but i can't think of a good tip to pay for this
rant on thelist

as for paying for it on this list, i got yer thechat tip right here --

   take aim
