Search Again: Men & Mice Website From: Matt Henderson Date: Sunday, September 1, 2002 Time: 2:53:59 am Just wanted to comment that I find the Men & Mice website quiet confusing. Today I visited the site to learn about QuickDNS 4.0 for MacOS X. I use QDNS running on two Linux machines, and managed by Quick DNS Manager for MacOS X. My main objectives visiting the site were: (1) Learn how QDNS 4.0 is _different_ from 3.5, in terms of features (2) Learn whether the system architecture is the same in terms of modules so that I can assess the activities required to upgrade what we have now. >From the home page, I clicked on the QuickDNS product page: http://www.menandmice.com/2000/2200_quick_dns.html There's an Executive Summary that doesn't help. There are testimonials everywhere, that don't help. There's a "saves time & money" checklist that doesn't help. So, the main product page has no specific information about the product. With over 30 links on the page, I tried clicking on "Features & Benefits"... http://www.menandmice.com/2000/2210_quick_dns_f&b.html More bulleted lists of marketing statements, "easy-to-use", "low migration costs", "simple interface", "fast installation", "manage more zones in less time." This page doesn't answer my questions, so let's click on "Technical Requirements"... http://www.menandmice.com/2000/2240_technical_quickdns.html Ok, now I see a breakdown of individual components by platform: QuickDNS Manager, Remove and "Central". But what is "Central"? You won't find an answer on this page. We've run out of QuickDNS links on this page, so back to "Features & Benefits", and download the "PDF Data Sheet" -- which turns out to be a PDF version of the "Features & Benefits" section of the website. At this point I give up. IMHO, the website feels like a junk email -- lots of text, and little information. None of my questions are answered, and a new question comes up, "What is QuickDNS Central?" Could someone on this list briefly indicate what is different in 4.0 -- in terms of features and system architecture?
