    The most annoying thing that I’ve seen webmasters do is to disable the right mouse button. (such as this site has done)

    I use it constantly in my browsing to do such things as:

      * add the page to my favourites
      * print a page
      * open a link in a new window <– a must for us power surfers

    There is nothing to be gained by disabling the RMB apart from annoying your visitors. All the options ‘view source’ etc can all be done (although somewhat slower) through menu items, so why disable it?

    [edit to add]
    Is anyone else experiencing *extremely* slow load times. I’m talking like 2 minutes per page load.

    AND, your asp shopping cart timed out on me during the checkout process. All I wanted to do was buy a book.. LOL (I will be calling tomorrow to ensure my details went through)

    I must seem like a real grouch, but I’m really not. [:D]
