Incompetant IT Staff
I'm currently attending a local community college (that was recently dubbed a state college, but whatever). For a while now, I've suspected that the IT staff responsible for maintaining the already horrid website was absolutely incompetant. After a flurry of IIS placeholder pages being the only content on the site, they rolled out a new version and my suspicions were confirmed. Take a look using Firefox, then try IE and any other browser you have around to see the totally minor things that simply don't work correctly in Firefox (like a simple menu).I haven't actually tried it in IE myself, but a friend tells me the top menu doesn't work correctly in IE, either! Oddly enough, it seems to work fine in Safari. A choice quote from the same friend: "Microsoft technology, if written poorly, works better in Apple environments then it does in its native environment."
<font size="3"></font>Viewing source in various pages next links to local files, random garbage, and overall disgusting... everything. My favorite part is the entire staff's lack of understanding of the GIF image format. Watch the top banner on the main page to see what I mean.

RE: Ctrl Alt Tab in Excel

Didn't they come up with a special key specifically so they'd have one to avoid that problem with? You'd think they'd use it...
Actually, the key is just the "super" key, which was around for a long time before Windows and was used by other operating systems. The term "super key" has run its course, now, but it's still used in various flavors of Linux (eg: Ubuntu).
