Dave, I have 10's of thousands of dollars worth or software programs. Some software, I have every version for the last 10 years. I am always upgrading, some upgrades are returned or trashed because they are junk.

I am not scared to use new things. Everytime a new computer gizmo comes out, I buy it.

I am not afraid of change.

I don't want to upgrade to something that is less productive that the previous version.

FWIW I'm very happy with the new site. The improvements are major, such as the folders in the inbox, new charts and enhanced browsing stuff (read 10 msgs at a time, etc.). The complaints seem to be minor formatting things like adding boxes, colors, size of viewing area, things like that. I think most everyone will like the new site when it comes on line for real... they didn't take anything away that I can see.

PS. Since the datek ad (and banner ads in general) can be removed from the new site... I'm expecting the boycotters to return shortly!

You just don't get it.

Patience has nothing to do with it.

The design is painful to my brain, physically and emotionally.

If it were better, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

It has nothing to do with patience. It has to do with human engineering, and the new site hasn't got it.
