Also, there is no useful distinction in my mind between 'North' and 'South'
Bay Area. I sail ALL of the sites at some time or another. The main
decision is usually between Crissy and Waddell. On COTW you get the 'big'
picture immediately, both in the forecast and in the current wind
conditions. There is no logical reason to seperate the data between north
and south Bay other than it allows you to fit more ads in.
Previous message:
Maybe this was already mentioned, but my observation is that although the
data from iWindsurf downloads incredibly *sloooow* on Netscape (taking
many minutes, in some instances), that the banner ads download almost
immediately. That gear.com ad is really annoying.
I'd vote for the old cotw format myself (absent the confusing wind
direction arrows). It was simple, and didn't take days to download. I
don't need no stinkin' maps, I know where the sites are. It was also
nice to see what's happening in Maui and Da Gorge without going to a
whole another page.
As it stands, the online version of iWindsurf is unusable for all users
who don't use the Evil Empire's browser.
