Re: another generation of playstation

Just a few comments - no time for a proper critique.

IE5.  56K modem at 46K.  1024x768 16-bit colour.

In later browsers (IE5 for instance), it opens up an annoying popup window
without the usual status bar etc.
I realise thus is probably deliberate but I don't like windows popping up
all over my screen.  And I like them maximised.

You may think narrow columns of tiny text are neat.  I don't, especially if
that causes me to scroll for very little information.  Also, by disabling
all my menus you make it impossible for me to read the small text late at
night and I can't enlarge it.

No status bar means I can't see whether anything is happening when I click
on buttons etc.   Or where I am going.  On quite a numberr of occasions,
while clicking on the "NEXT" button nothing seemed to happen.  Perhaps a
slow server or connection, but without that status bar i can't tell whether
it's a dead link or a slow connection or what????

The second button down (Cisla?) eventually brought up a distressingly long
page in the tiny frame in the middle.  Took ages to load too.  Please, I
have a 17 inch monitor.  Don't restrict me to a few square inches of  of
screen space.

By the way, clicking on Start does nothing in Netscape 2.  Remember that not
everyone has the latest and greatest browser.

Anyway, time to sign off.  Hope this helps.
