      <title>Why on earth does anyone use Kagi?</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;So I wanted to register &lt;a href="http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/"&gt;VisualHub&lt;/a&gt; which seems to be a good solution for converting video for use on the iPod Touch. Their &lt;a href="http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/buyit.php"&gt;purchase link&lt;/a&gt; ferries me off to a &lt;a href="http://store.kagi.com/?6FDAV_LIVE"&gt;Kagi store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are some observations based on what follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The store website is butt-ugly. I mean it's coming straight out of 1997. Strike one.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Okay they allow me to pay by PayPal. I'll let them off having a fugly site.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hrmm.. I'm paying by PayPal but they still want my address. Strike two.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The checkout link takes me to PayPal, but after I login there is no transaction to verify. Strike three.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, in a nutshell, this useless store asks for information it doesn't need and doesn't fullfil it's single purpose in life, i.e. to let me but this software.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When I tried to find the help and support I discovered after checking a bunch of links on the Kagi pages that they have no clue what support means either.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Really... you want me to buy your software... then make it easy, make it pleasurable, but for gods sake: &lt;strong&gt;make it work!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
