What I hate about the Internet...having to select a date

All to often, when you enter the expiration date of your credit card,
you have to use a drop down list to select the month and year. What is
so annoying that the month is required to be two digits, I.e., 01, 02,
and so on. By using a drop down list, you negate the user from typing
in the date, which is faster than using a mouse to select the date and
it also prevents you from tanning into the field and using the
keyboard to select the date. The Sam thing is seen in the year, but
what makes this even more funny, the dates are limited to the next 5
years. Hmmmm, seems like someone is looking for job security to add
dates once a year to the drop down list.

The samething is often seen with selecting a date. You sometimes need
to click a little button just to have a nifty calendar pop open, and
even worse yet are the web sites that make a post to get the calendar.
