Problem accessing DiMarzio website

When I go to dimarzio.com, all I get is a black screen. I'm guessing it's a cookie, software, Adobe or other such problem. But there are no error messages to point me in the right direction. Refreshing the page doesn't do it either.

I've never been to that site on my current computer. Anyone else experience this problem?

I have a fairly new PC running Windows XP, with a 56K dial up connection.

Well, I installed Flash. Still no go (I thought I already had it, but I guess that was on my old PC).

To be clear, I have little doubt that the problem lies within my equipment. But where?
I am able to get TO the website, but all I see is a black screen. When I hit "reload", there is momentarily a little white line in the upper left corner. This suggests that some message is "trying to come through", so to speak.

Usually if a site requires Flash or some other program, the homepage will say so - usually something like "This page requires Flash to be viewed correctly".

Anyway, not the end of the world. But I am planning to do some modifications using Dimarzio pickups and parts in the future. And it would be nice to have them in my back pocket.

If they don't want to bother making a website that uses open standards, then they obviously don't care about making their products available to the broadest possible audience. No blind guitarists or blind bassists will be able to get info about their products online for instance.

I've wanted to link to products of theirs while answering questions here on this forum, but their use of flash prevents me doing anything but linking to their front page. It really is their loss if they decide that every computer user who doesn't have Flash for either technical or accessibility reasons doesn't need to see their product info.

Ticks me off on principle, and the linking annoyance simply prevents me from sending visitors to their website.

I can download the product catalog and tech data guide from the site (PDF files) and e-mail them to you, if you'd like. PM me.
