Making order forms better

I've filled out serveral order/registration forms online lately and they got me to thinking about the proceess. In the US, every ZIP code maps back to a city or town. Yet I have to fill out both the ZIP code and City/State portion of the form. Why not one or the other? In many cases the server validates that I have the right ZIP code, so they're checking it anyway. Why not eliminate it altogether? I'll post a sample later tonight to see if we can make this type of form a little cleaner.

Thanks, NiMo

Time to pay some bills and I'm about to start using NiMo's online bill pay system. Except all I get is HTTP/1.1 Server Too Busy. And I don't think I get the paper bill anymore.

Update: Got in after an hour of trying. Now it's time to struggle with Verizon's system sending me in circles after Step 2 - I go back to Step 1!
