Oh come on... I got #4 beat. 90% of my searches come back with something
for VMS and Oracle 7 as the #1 search result... for 11i on Unix, for 9i on
Unix, for ANYTHING...

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,
