At first I couldn't believe the way you had so disparaged Quantum's
website. I used their website with Arachne just last week to look up the
specs and the jumper settings for my Quantum Pro Maverick 270MB HDD. The
site worked marvellously well for me and I was impressed. I visited their
website again a few minutes ago to see if anything had changed there.
Result: I found that their hyperlinks were no longer working. I got
"unknown protocol" errors, and eventually my machine locked up so tight
that not even the three finger salute would allow my machine to escape
from the situation. Sadly I find that many webmasters at many websites
that used to work just fine have decided to "fix" something that wasn't
even broken. They all should be fired. I think they would be fired if
there were some way the ordinary consumers could inform the CEOs about
what is going on. It seems that the CEOs are too busy to listen to the
customers who use their company's products. I could go on and on to
cite product "improvements" in may areas other than websites that resulted
in many complaints from consumers. The NEW Coca Cola was one such
classic fiasco. The company officials should have known that it was
impossible to improve upon an already overwhelmingly popular product that
was still always beating the competition.
