I feel your pain.  I remember when TI first brought up their web site
with parts, etc (or maybe it was just when I first started using the
web).  Their site was horrible and they actually had the nerve to make
you register to access *anything*!  Now they have come full circle and
have the best web site around.  They have home pages for product lines
that help you understand what the line is about and how it differs
from other product lines and what is common within the line.  They
make it very easy to find a device page with nearly all the basic info
in the HTML so you don't need to download a data sheet just to find
out that it needs 2.35 volts or only has 3 IO pins.  They even put a
link to the data sheet at the top of the page as well as in the
section with links to other documents.  The only time I can't find a
document on the TI site is when they haven't released it yet!!!  You
can even order samples directly from the page and get stock
information on distributors.  Oh, and did I mention the parametric
tables and selection guides you can view that don't require you to pop
up other windows and go back and forth between them???  Huh Philips,
did I mention that?  ;^)

So anyone who cares about improving their web pages (Cypress, Atmel,
nearly all the Asian companies and I won't even bother to mention ST
since I have given up on their web site long ago), take a look at the
TI site and see how to do it right.  :)
