Anyone here know why Mentec's web site has
been down for the last two
weeks?
http://www.mentec-inc.com <http://www.mentec-inc.com/>
From googling for "mentec" and "pdp", it looks like their website is
now
at
www.mentec.com. I can't see much useful content there though
anymore, partially because their page doesn't render very well under
Firefox.
I use Firefox exclusively (took IE off the system completely even registry)
and it renders fine for me. Major nit I have is their site is slower than
sludge even on a DSL which is typical for MSbased sites.
Not to "beat a dead horse", but I use Firefox on a Linux workstation and my
Internet access is SBC/ATT DSL at 2Mb/sec - and Mentec's site is snappy and
displayed accurately.
I suspect one's observation of "performance" depends more on the BW of your
ISP's "pipes" and how many nodes away you are - than Mentec's
website...
Cheers,
Lyle
