Don't try this at home (David Strom) -- "It is the middle of 2002, and I am still having piss-poor experiences with major-league web sites that should know better. And it makes me mad. I went to register for Microsoft's Fusion conference, and found myself trapped inside a hall of mirrors, like something out of (actually inside of) Alice in Wonderland. It must have taken me the better part of an hour to sign up for this event. Obscure links, broken pages, poor design, bad instructions: someone should use this site as a case study of what NOT to do in web design."
