I take this to indicate that Mission Control is still absolutely
maddening?  I haven't dared go there for ages because it invariably
crashed my browser before I could find any actual information.
Sounds like it's still kind of over the top :/

Perhaps there could be version that was a web page with easily
accessible info and data as well a version that is a light show?  I'm
sure there are people out there who live for a dazzling web
experience, and I'm glad they're being catered to -- but I'd settle
for a web site that didn't drive me into a homicidal frenzy just
trying to figure out what the heck is going on ....

Cheers,
Carl
