2 or 3 things I hate about the US Open website

Scoreboard only works on IBM machines. (Not like last year where it also worked on a Mac.)

Interviews are only audiovid, no written transcripts, and audiovid has commercials at the beginning.

No, 95%.

I think it has more to do with IBM sponsorship than a majoritarian bias.

dude, IBM is the make of computer like HP or Dell or whatever...what you ment to say is PC...But, anyway it works on mine non IBM (dell) PC...

[mpalmer]

Doesn't PC stand for Personal Computer? The Mac is a PC then, right? IBM refers to machines, like Dell, that have their historical origins in IBM technology and software. That's the only distinction I was making.

I don't want to start some lame debate over this, please.

Well you can run the scoreboard in HTML and just hit the update button.

Okay, I see where to do it. Thanks. It's a bit annoying to hit the Update button all the time, though.

Watching on the "Scoreboard and Stat" option at the top of the home page is a much better way to watch anyway. Then you can see all live scores simultaneously displayed, and all those flashing numbers...& net cam and stats if you want. BTW, have you seen the new Mac? http://www.apple.com/imac/
