Exclamation A change (minor) on Duncan Press web site

Duncan Press made changes to their web site this month. They have not corrected the inaccurate speed limit information or changed the safety courses at Marine Patrol headquarters from Coast Guard to MP. They have changed the background color of their web pages. Instead of a green background their web pages now have a brown background.

I guess that is what is important to them but that change doesn't help anyone navigate.
In addition to the color of their web page background they changed the Home Page so it says "September 2009". That's keeping current 'eh?

The have NOT updated ANY of the (mis)information listed in the thread starter. They still list the 2 Speed Limit zones that were the test areas from a few years ago - NO mention of a speed limit on the whole lake (not that I like the SL but it is the current law and should be published as such).

They also do not seem to have met their own challenge issued (or ranted IMO) on their Home page earlier this summer. They said we'll see which map (Bizer or Duncan) is most attractive and accurate by the end of the summer. I'll save that for another thread.
