I appreciate you taking the time to respond in a positive way to this
thread.
One constructive comment from myself if I may.
I have just been using the new site to search for an LPC part. For this
purpose I used the parametric tables. The search results table was
displayed in a new window. This would have been nice were it not for the
fact that the table width was approximately 2.5 times the window width, and
for some inexplicable reason the window could not be scaled/maximised.
Without using the scroll bar along the bottom of the screen I could not
actually view the data.
Hi Richard,
What browser are you using ? - the NXP web site is particuarly Browser
paranoid (more than any other)
- seems tolerable in firefox, but does not like netscape.
In one browser on visting the website after the SECOND invitation to the
new website 'EXPERIENCE' with another bloated Webpage as an email, I get
clicking on ANYTHING brings up the dropdown list for languages ONLY.
In IE I get all sorts of Active X wanting to run and taken to a page
telling me how to setup my browser for virus infection.
No doubt there is ONLY one page that assumes everybody uses
Intern Exploder.
Hint I do not have this sort of problem with TI/National/Analog devices.....
Big clue to website developers if listening, getting 'fluff' that
goes on about the 'experience' is the WRONG thing, you are going to see
if parts exist/available/end of life/..... The only experience you want
is to spend as LITTLE time as possible on the website, as that is NOT
what you are paid to do.
Proliferation of sites with the 'My...' crap, means yet another damn
stupid username/password combination to setup that no doubt screws up if you
have to change email address.
Last time I counted up, the amount of sites that wanted username/passwords
was over 100 for me so they have to be stored on paper or electronically,
so the whole point of security is out of the window.
Most of the sites realistically don't need this combination, a username at
most is needed as the information is not that confidential or is only
used to contact support/sales. I.E. no money or personal detailed
information is needed to be transferred.
Most people who insist on this sort of excessiveness get pointed at

Others are welcome to point the scurrilous there even if to request they
go there to get there security phrase to avoid phishing/spam emails etc..
