Jim Phillips laments the trials and tribulations in trying to sign up
for HP Computer News.  Unfortunately, it gets worse.

My guess is that Jim was using MS Internet Explorer.  Under Netscape 4.08,
the fields, radio buttons, and submit button for the online form do not
even appear.  Other parts of the form are in error as well.

A quick look at the HTML behind the scenes indicates that some tags are
missing, while others are misplaced.  The site definitely needs some work.

HP Computer News has a web site, but that includes frames and other
wackiness, so "browse at your own risk." ;)

Since it's not technically an "hp.com" site, I don't know whether they
are subject to the new interface standard or not.

Alas, the site for the HP e3000 Advisor has not yet been converted
to the new standard, so they bear the associated risk.
