Hi:

When I clicked on the URL, from Lotus Notes, it gave all the appearances
of "blowing up". Didn't really, as it turns out, but neither the Notes
client nor I were at all happy for a while ("Do you want to install and
run Adobe Flash?" -- it's already installed and working fine).

I find it ironic, given the subject matter, that when viewed from Firefox
the page turns out to be stable -- but one of the ugliest pieces of Web
presentation I have seen in a long time. There is a scroll-following
popover (a *plague* on the guy who invented that!), and there are either
ten or eleven visually distinct ways of presenting navigation links,
depending on how one defines "distinct" and/or "navigation links". Oops,
make that eleven or twelve, I just noticed one of the link lists
autoscrolls vertically.

Maybe the .NET Developers Journal people were just trying to use all the
tricks they know on one page. Yecccchhhhhh.
