Almost 30 years ago National Semiconductor had an early nicely done website that allowed you to search for products, get data sheets, ask questions, find reps and distributors. I used it all the time.

1997-8 one day I bring it up and it's been replaced by a glossy site extolling the value of National Semiconductor stock and lauding the CEO, CFO, and the board members and nothing about the companies actual product. A few months later they added a link to the old site down in the right hand corner.

I've come around to the idea that MBA's shouldn't be allowed to own individual stocks. Only through index funds.
