ARGHHH!

I just spent the last 4 HOURS trying to figure out how to sell something on ebay. And when I was on the 4th of the last 5 screens of the selling form, I clicked a help link, which loaded a javascript program which crashed mozilla and lost me all my work.

ARGGGHHH!!!!!

You know, EBay has one of the WORST laid out web sites I've ever had to interact with. Its bad enough if you're just buying, but for sellers it AWFUL.

Grumble mumble grrrr....

If I am interpreting this article correctly, it used to be even worse: http://www.uie.com/articles/talking_horse/

Yup, its a talking horse alright. Anyway, it took two more attempts, but I finally got my item listed. At least I *think* so. There was no link provided that would give a buyer's view of the item, so I'm just going to do a search for it tomorrow and make sure its really there.

I've had trouble with Mozilla 1.5 spawning dozens of java-vm processes, and then slowing down and dying. Just upgraded today to 1.6, so I'm hoping it'll be better.

Well, I'm already running V1.6, and it didn't help.
