Frank, is an url available for your PCs group, or is that an intra/extranet
kinda thang? I'd be interested in seeing any other redesigns or case studies
of redesigns that people can point me to (other than Sun and Jakob Nielsen's
stuff).
I've always thought of web sites, and the web in general as an
info-appliance (I never was much of a gamer), so 'm always interested in
seeing how people pare down their graphics and streamline their sites, while
still maintaining brand identity, easy nav, and clean, attractive layout. If
anyone wants to send me link lists of sites that they think fit that bill,
I'd also be most interested.
