Frames--What's the big deal?

Hello there,

I just wanted to suggest another site which demonstrates a nice application
of frames.

http://www.shareware.com/

By placing the navigational instruments in the same place for every page on
the site, they've eliminated a lot of needless scrolling up or down to get
to the top or bottom of pages.

The consumer wins (less time spent to find information), the provider wins
(their logo is *always* visible). Maybe it's not a perfect world in terms
of standards adhesion or future site maintenance - but I've got to admire a
site which makes ftp so blinking simple.
