What is it with tech sites looking like they’re from the wrong decade? Steve J. writes in:

I nominate www.directron.com. This is a computer and eletronics retailer with a huge catalog.  I know they must have something I need, but I’ve never bought anything from them and never will.  Why not? Because it’s too frakin’ heard to find anything.  It’s like going into one of those antique stores where there is so much stuff, all packed so close together, that you know they might have something you want but you also know you’re never going to find it.Has no one from Directron ever surfed NewEgg, or TigerDirect?  They must know there are cleaner web sites out there.
