Most of the complaints that I have read are based on familiarity and not actual functions. People are accustomed to doing things a certain way and when confronted with change they resist. I remember when Win95 first came out. I thought it was the stupidest upgrade I had ever seen. All the same functions, but in a totally different location. I had to relearn windows. I have since then had the need to go back and re-test something in win 3.1. Sheesh! What a piece of crap!<G>

Get used to the new site and I guarantee 6 months down the road you will hate the old SI.

Part of what's happening in the uproar about the new SI is the expression of a deep resentment toward GNET for having bought SI.

I am getting pretty tired of hearing this ridiculous comment. I think people are forgetting that Go2Net could not have bought Silicon Investor if the Dryers had not sold.
