My download speeds are fine too.  My biggest gripe is how things keep 
changing and how fancy the pages are getting.  I can understand some 
bling on the product and marketing pages but the support pages should be 
downright blah in my opinion.  I should be able to load up the support 
site in lynx if I have to and find what I'm looking for.  Today we have 
to deal with all those damn style sheets, indirect linking through CGIs, 
flash and javascript crap, having to (re)authenticate at every turn, and 
timeouts that are way too short (can you say Dynamic Config Tool?).

Like I said earlier, give the product and marketing pages the shiny 
bling and give the support pages the look, feel and function of what a 
professional Cisco engineer would except and need.  After all, we use 
the command line all day long.  We don't need a stinking GUI.
