 So just now I'm cruising McMaster's website for some hardware.
I clicked down their easy, intuitive user interface to the part I wanted.
Glanced to the left of the screen and see the link to a 'technical drawing'.
Clicked on that and just as I'm preparing to do a screen capture, I see above
the drawing number a link to 'download'. Oh Really?

Clicked the link and several seconds later I'm looking at a solid model of the
part in my CAD program. :)


I have no connection to McMaster and this may be old hat to you all, but I'm
happily
impressed!

Me either. And it annoys me that, at least in Internet Explorer,
trying to use the back button is usually futile.

The technical capabilities of their website are impressive and being
able to get back to where you were probably isn't as important, but it
sure would be nice to be able to use the Back button and use the
History folder.

Most browsers have a drop down to side of each front back button. Try
selecting the drop down and select a point in the past.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've been browsing
the Internet a long long time. It has something to do with their
server.

To be precise. I probably should say it has something to do with
either their server or the way their server interacts with Internet
Explorer 6.
