Rating Chart

Ratings are necessarily subjective, but are done without bias. Criteria I used were the amount of useful, up-to-date, and relevant information, with good presentation, fast response, but without excessive graphics or gimmicks. Of course, reasonable people can disagree.

	Excellent: Much information presented well, without excessive graphics
	Above Average: Presentation or information very good, although perhaps lacking in one criteria or the other.
	OK: Acceptible information and presentation, more work needed.
