    Yeah! New error pages! Finally no more of that 404 bullshit.

      No, they said NEW ones.

      I would suspect they've introduced new errors, entirely! Maybe some 700s, 800s.. maybe even some googols!

      Since I'm not going to install it on my mac, someone want to post screenshots of the new screens? Please tell me they're more informative (for unsophisticated users) but not mimics of MSIE.

    Yeah, whatever. You say that now, but I bet you were one of those jerks hating on Network Solutions for making "new error pages" last year, weren't, you?

    Use the approach that is used in my company:

    Developers: Do you want to use approach A or B?
    Sales: Both! And make it configurable!
