The Ten-Tec site is slow at times, perhaps due to their ISP connection, but
then aren't they all from time-to-time? I don't feel that they have
anything to be ashamed of with their web site. I can easily find what I
need, including a user's link to their older product line which I constantly
use. I rate a site by how easily I can find the information I need, not by
how much HTML they can impress us with. Ten-Tec gets an A+ in this category
as far as I'm concerned. An on-line addition of their present and older
equipment manuals would be great, particularly if it were in an Adobe .PDF
file format.
