common rant about LY
i just had the privilage of using LY's web site for the first time. 
now i know why the regulars on this board hate it so much.
it is a shame that a major company has a web site that looks like a 6 year old made it.
shame on you El AL

It's not just shameful that Elal is a major company and has such a crappy website, but even more so, it is shameful because Israel is a country known for its software and hardware engineers. Where are the Israeli people doing a redesign which they can then present to Elal as a replacement? (As a comparandum, this is what happened with the Hebrew interface for the iPod -- it was written by an indidivual and released as a download, and then Yeda saw the light and decided to use his work as the basis for their own, AFAIK...)

Israir's website sucks, too. Haaretz.com is only barely passable.
Come to think of it, are there ANY decent Israeli websites out there? It seems like they were all designed by a 12-year-old with a Microsoft promotional toolkit (since most of these sites are 10x worse in Firefox than on IE).

most Israeli websites only work well on IE on PC.
www.ynetnews.com only works on safari, not firefox. Rest.co.il works only on safari, not firefox, and still without the proper functionality. its sad.

Talking about bad websites, try the new beta system for Egged bus timetables (only in Hebrew) - A 10 year old could have made a better interface than this one.
