Amazing indeed? First of all, the classic site IS ONLY available on backup servers, which you REALLY should not use. We never connect you to them via a login button. They are older, slower, and really should only be used if you are having problems with a high-powered production server. The practice of bookmarking a server and connecting to it everyday is NOT the best way for you to find the least loaded server. The BEST way is to bookmark the login page and use the login button. I would only use the bookmarking of servers if you cannot use the login button at some point. But please try the login button first. But I digress... The new, ultra-plain fractions are now on the classic site. Its very lite, 60% fewer calories. And as a rebuttal to the critisizm, is it really amazing that it took 3 days to decide on, code, test, and roll out a significant new interface? Please provide specific examples of companies that can do that faster. I am VERY curious. Remember, the old-old style was available all along.
