Dear Chris, I'm surprised to hear that you had a bad experience with the site. Most of us have found the site to be very impressive. It is a test site still, as you know. The aesthetics of the site is of course a matter of taste. I do agree that the site could use a lot better graphic design. They use alot of generic stocks which doesn't make it the most dazzling site there is visually. They are keeping the graphics end in-house in order to save money. Please keep in mind they are under time and budget limitations. On the issue of content, I think most of us here will disagree with you. We find the content to be extremely vast. The power search, the most script and hardware intensive part of the site-building, is not complete. Thus, you can only use the classical search in the home page. For instance, when I was testing the site, I wanted to pick an unusual title to see how big the database is. I tried the soundtrack to Orson Welle's "Touch of Evil". Nothing comes up from the classic search in the home page. However, when it leads me to the page that tells me "Search Found No Matches", there is a part of the power search that has been activated: the "Sounds Like" search. I then typed in "Touch of Evil" and bingo. There it is. Try it again if you missed that. Try some far-fetched artists or title, some old and try some brand new one to see how well updated it is. I've found it very satisfactory. Now on the issue why you should invest in TSIG. I think the simplest answer to your question is: anything under $1 is an incredible bargain. I don't want to say any more than that lest I would seem to be hyping it. Do some DD. Read the past posts and decide for yourself. My assessment of the risk in TSIG is that as long as TSIG is not a scam, you are looking at a very very explosive stock. Is it a scam? You'll have to decide for yourself. Welcome to the board.
