Thankfully, my hosting account with Powweb is about to expire, so I've transfered to HostGator. I've had great success hosting UCconsortium.org with HostGator for the past six months; their site is much more responsive, they support Drupal, and their tech support is lightyears ahead of Powweb.

I recently came across a site that yelled at me for using "Netscape." What bothers me is not that I wasn't using Netscape (seriously, who does?). What really bothers me was that the site said I should use Internet Explorer. Here's my rant to the site owner:
Dear Mr. Green:
