I guess Compaq went a bit too far with trying to be user friendly.

JoteSite, one of my favorite tech sites through all times, is finally back after a year (or 2?). I’ve been seing their “Coming soon” page for the entire time because I had it bookmarked in my News folder and I always use “Open in tabs” for that folder.
