"flash and animations"?<br>
Just a thought...<br>
<br>
the more crap my browser has to wade through to get to the "meat" the quicker I dump the site.<br>
Still over 1/2 of the internet users don't have high speed access, even just in North America. I don't even have cable TV in rural Oklahoma. My fastest downloads with a 56K modem are usually in the low 40,000 baud range with averages in the low 30,000 baud range.<br>
Don't waste time and effort on pretty frills. Put up well constructed, logical pages, with good links and fast loading photos, when possible. If I have to "download" a new application to see someone's latest webpage, I'll usually pass.<br>
<br>
The plain and simple works most of the time. The fancy stuff is just a way for Bill Gates and others to make you think you need newer computer software, a faster processor, or whatever will give them your money, when you could be spending that money on a catapult or something else useful. <br>
