He always said the customer had the best ideas. After all, they are the one spending the money. I like the site now. Just wish the searches would have more than 4 results at a time. Maybe have a little thing to select 10, 20, 50, 100 or something like that. Sort of like Google does. May write them about that too. They are listening at least. Dale :-) :-)

Oh, I take that back. appears to be a current version of the hideous os commerce app they have chosen for some god aweful reason, 3d cart. I can think of no good reason to pay 20-100 dollars for such a monstrosity when it's 3+ years old anyway... apparently these people have never heard of open source software.

SOMEONE thought this was a good idea, and if THEY'RE dumb enough to have implemented this in the first place then there's probably no persuading them. If you complain to the website owner the chances are that they're just going to back to the website designer and ask him to explain it to them, and he'll explain it to them in a way that rationalises his original decision to foul with right-clicking. Of course there is the possibility that if the company receives loads of complaints then they'll do something about it, or that the graphic designer has moved on now, or the website owner has recently employed someone internally who is more technically literate who will be more sympathetic to these complaints, but chances are that bitching about it won't make any difference.

Guess what, they host the site so it is probably something they do themselves and is a packaged website. Oh well, I won't be ordering from them to often anyway. Google search is a lot better than theirs too so maybe I can live with it. Dale :-) :-)

Stroller. Yea, I wrote them already. I mentioned that if they are worried about someone taking their pics, all you have to do is get it out of the browser cache. It's not hard at all. Their search engine sucks too. You get a whopping 4 results per page. O_O I usually just use google and the site search. I can set it to 100 per page and I think the pics are better too. The pics on the site are pretty small really. Oh, I can hold the control key and left click and it opens in a new tab. I'm just used to right clicking is all. They may have cheap prices but their website sucks. May be cheap to get customers to put up with their crappy site. LOL Get a better website, may get customers and make more cash. :/ Dale :-) :-)
