Wow, their website is terrible. It assumes a specific browser width,
and a specific font setting as well. The Javascript is _slow_ and
worse yet, they are using Javascript to reimplement built in HTML form
features, such as dropdown lists.

I wanted to write to them asking about their software, but after
seeing their website I do not even want to see their software!
