URL formatted to provide proper hyperlink:  http://www.boo.com/

uh-huh to Joe's comments. but we still had to sit through the launch of a
new window AND a shockwave animation before finding out we can't "enter"
the site.

i thought, "what the hey" -- and selected "US" from the drop down *anyway*
... i wanted to see what would happen.

i had to wait for a lot of files to download -- then -- blank page. not
even the putrid pumpkin in color. and because the developers have so KINDLY
launched All Their Content in a new browser window with NO menu controls -
I can't even view source.


"usability problems" should be the least of their concern.


trying to access the site seems to have hosed Netscape 4.6/Macintosh. I
can't load any *other* web pages now. How precious.
