Tyler,
Mark here, lets just call me Savoia for now. OK, this is going to sound insane, but for all the times I have looked at the info on their website I never ever knew of those hidden columns to the right in my browser window. I just never noticed I could scroll right. This is the sound of me hitting forehead with my hand, stupid(slap) - stupid(slap) - stupid(slap). I would just download the PDFs. I guess we get use to most websites either being more of a vertical format or the content would fit left to right automatically. Geez.

OK, now to get back to life within my browsers constraints :) You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

I've decided, until I can commit to it, to use his I*Metric as the main comparison criteria, since it seems the most valid to me. So, all I do is click on that header in the test results chart on line, and it puts all the results in order of performance, very informative. Then, if I need more specific info, I download the specific test's pdf, for example to see what patches were the most problematic in a sample I submitted, etc..
