I've lost count of the times I've gone to a site that I am planning to
visit in the flesh shortly, looking for a map to show me my way round,
and there's only text giving the CEO's latest all-pull-together speech;
and equally the sites that I've opened up, looking for some usable text
for a report perhaps, only to find vast JPEG imagemapped aerial shots
of the factory/campus and a lot of colored buttons -- and not a word of
text in sight.

I guess it's the newness of the medium still, after all these years.

BTW, what is a suitable punishment for people who use the word "sight"
when they mean "site"? :-)
