After entering the email address and password you are greeted by long waits, and then a message saying the session has expired. Or, if you are very lucky it will take you to your email page and after you click on an email to view it, after a very long wait, it will kick you back to the login page with the "expired session" message again. If you are very, very lucky it will display the email and then when you click the delete (or move) button, after a very long wait it will kick you back to "session expired" again. It can take 30 minutes or more to read and delete 3 emails. Phone calls to "customer service" (wink, wink, nod, nod) will get you dancing around like crazy monkeys for a while before admitting that they know about the problem and that it could be fixed with a software upgrade but they have no idea when (or if) it will be done. This has been going on for at least a year now but has gotten much worse over the last couple of months. I'd like to find out what it will take to get it FIXED.

I have a Logitech C7 that still works, although it did need one ball transplant.

Hemlock Stones writes "I just pulled up the newly "upgraded" Dilbert website with less than satisfying results. Using Firefox/Debian (Etch) brings up the web site OK but the comic strip does not work. Worse, when I attempted to access the new animated comic feature there's a little message displayed that says it only works with Windows/MAC (oh, the irony). Even better, when I went to the web designer contact page to register my thoughts about this, it did not display any contact information (I assume I needed to be using Windows/MAC). I was able to contact the Dilbert Web site directly and let them in on my thoughts about designing sites that require specific OS's/browsers to work. I'm waiting for a reply. I also thought about registering with the Web site but their privacy policy appeared to be more about advertising and giving away "anonymous" information than privacy."
