Office Max Website Navigation

As I was shopping for an external hard drive I ran across the Office Max website and was very impressed by the usability of their shopping cart.

Instead of the common Category -> Sub-Category -> Etc. -> Product navigation, Office Max uses an alphabetical navigation bar, with a drop-down featuring products beginning with the letter you are hovering over. The most common products and categories under each letter are bolded as well.

Bravo, Office Max – I love the design, and the shopping cart is extremely light-weight. It loads fast, looks good, and best of all, it is extremely intuitive and user friendly (if only their online prices were a little better … ).
