    Looks a lot better than it was. The old website had problems with opera and mozilla.

    I was speaking to Sean Carter - Marketing Manager for Microdirect, about it the other week and he mentioned about the launch of the new site within a weeks time. This was the middle of January so i assume they have had a few hicup's with the site.

    Looks good though I like it.

    the site doesn't work properly, eg go to digital cameras, click the pages at the bottom 1 2 3 4 - you get the same list of cameras on page 1 and 2

    Yeah I noticed that too when I was lookking at p4's, overall pretty un-impressed with it, loads of simple design mistakes have also been made.

    OK, that took nearly as long as the Dixons website to load!

    Shocking - I was on a 512k connection with only that using it.

    Still, I guess the first time it needs to cache, and the site might be busy right now.

    Hang on - I don't like microdirect anyway! Oh, shiver me timbers!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
