Broken Links

One and a half hours into my day and I’ve encountered two broken links on sites. Mind you, these are not companies with small web budgets and a lack of technical knowledge. The offenders are EA Sports and Dell. A click on EA Sports’ Rugby 2006 and 2005 Buy links brings up a Java null pointer exception. On the Dell site, clicking on Customize It! for a Latitude D410 brings up a page that says “Choose A System.” You’d think with both of their technical prowess, their dependence on the web for their business and the availability of quality tools out there, they could get it right. Frustrating!
