The most infuriating are the home pages consisting of NOTHING but
flash eye-candy. (The plus there is that type of web site rarely
gets into the Google lists.....)

I ran into an electronics wholesale website that was built entirely
in flash I had updated the crappy Macromedia Flash software less than a
week before, and it was out of date already
so I e-mailed the webmaster and told them I wouldn't install more software
on an already full hard drive to buy parts that were available from people
who really wanted to sell, not just advertise.

You emailed the wrong fella. The webmaster's Prime Directive is to protect
and expand the webmaster's job. You need to get the message to the folks who
lay awake at night -- wondering how (if) they can stay in business.

More than installing "...more software on an already full hard drive...",
I'm tired of spend a large percentage of my "computing time" constantly
updating my system(s). Imagine, if you will, devoting that kind of effort
on your car, your TV, or your HVAC -- just to get the same 'utility' out
of it tomorrow that you got out of it yesterday. sigh...
