Web Pages That Suck - learn good web design by looking at bad web design

Submitter’s comments: I was searching the web for some assembly language information and I “crossed eyes” with this site. Since then I cannot type properly, I’ve grown a third ear and my retina is starting to decay <grin>.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Ironically, the site has found a good use for animated images — to show off their 3D graphing software. Unfortunately, they couldn’t leave well enough alone and had to use an animated GIF background. This takes the site from being sloppy to Over the Top.

All they have to do to improve the site and raise it to the level of mediocre is just remove the animated background. I just changed one HTML statement and made the site infinitely better. (In case they remove the background image, here’s a screen shot of the original page.)
