Hi folks,
Will flash be the death of the internet? A company I do some PR work for has for the past two years employed a young 'whizz kid' (MD's son) to liven up their website. Has lots of 'flash' flash (the company do manufacture Studio Flash equipment) animations &c, but takes so long to load that potential customers move onto a competitors site in 'penny plain' HTML. Despite being told that the only people who can be bothered with flash are other website designers who do not buy their products they do persist. I suppose the MD's son has to be employed at something! What do ALUGers think. Are we getting too clever by far and missing the point?
I've said my bit:

Its the information hiding that annoys me most. I don't have the official Flash plugin installed, and GPL FLash is quite limited. Flash should be reseverd for arty/designy stuff thats /additional/ to the main content of a site.
