>B) the country dropdown contains only one country (USA), but the
state/province dropdown contains Canadian provinces.

uhhh... so your saying that Canada isn't part of the US?

MS and Component One are offering a free ASP.NET Resource Kit. See
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=aef6aa76-ab88-4
264-87b4-8e946ef584d7&DisplayLang=en. What's funny is the page you are
taken to next. It's a form which is:

A) quite ambiguous - should you fill it in if downloading? Or only if
ordering the CD?
B) the country dropdown contains only one country (USA), but the
state/province dropdown contains Canadian provinces.
C) I entered several valid postal codes, but on each received the error
message "not a valid zip code". Yet the label says "Zip/Postal Code".
D) Nothing happens when you click Submit.

Nice piece of work, guys and gals!

Arthur
