It's amazing [1] how the sites that actually want to *sell* you
something make it almost impossible to navigate to meaninfull, or any
particular, content. Sites by Just Some Guy with opinions or useful
free info tend to be plain and simple. Huh. If I can find detailed
technical info for my aging FooWizard DigitalDevice, I'm likely to buy
a new FooWizard when it fails. Not if the FooWizard site is
impenetrable.
[1] Or maybe it isn't amazing, seeing as how such vendors have whole
Web Design Departments which in turn have a vested interest in
maximizing "deliverables" and are judged by non-technical senior
managers who periodically glance over the eye candy.
