If they haven't followed my (several) feedbacks on MetaLink yet, why =
would they start now?

1) Comply with HTML standards, instead of this "IE 5.0 required" crap.  =
(http://www.w3.org)
2) NO FRAMES!  (http://useit.com)
3) Replace images w/CSS menus or text for speed.  (http://useit.com)
4) Stop giving me RDB/Apps results in my searches!  Maybe I'd file less =
TARs if I could find the answer.

On the plus side, Opera 7 does handle frame navigation =
(backward/forward) better than any other browser I've tried.  Because of =
it's shortcomings though I still prefer Firefox.

My $.02,
Rich
