On the other hand I've seen some pretty good Flash sites whose flash integration was almost invisible but which made the site easy to use and more functional than the limitations of HTML and its various implimentations can provide. One of the nice things about Flash is that, if it runs, everyone will see the same thing. (I think) That's hardly true for web browsers. I use three different browsers on my Mac: Omniweb, Chimera (based on Mozilla but with a elegant Aqua interface), and IE because there are some sites where the designers just wrote to the IE browser rather than to the W3C standard. Flash looks the same in all of these and that's a Good Thing. Personally I like sites that are minimalist. Adam Bridge - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
