I agree: one reason why I hate to be bullied into Javascript. The other is that
the only Javascript browser I have now is Netscape 4.04, past its certificate
expiration time, horribly slow on my current Cx486DX2-S at 66 MHz with 20 MB
RAM, and not runnable at all now because the amount by which SWAPPER.DAT would
balloon exceeds available disk space.
Any way, Wasabi people, to order without using the Web system? Email or voice
phone, for instance? I don't really like ordering through the Web anyway, a
software bug at the other end could be financially ruinous to me.
