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week before, and it was out of date already so I e-mailed the webmaster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. I wonder if they fixed the site, or went out
of business? I know a lot of people who won't wait 10 minutes per page
to download to be able to look for parts.


I run a non-Windows OS at home, and can't run Flash -- nor would I if I
could. I don't want eye-candy websites on my browser. I do want to be able
to see things with a minimal browse, such as Lynx, or with a GUI browser
such as Mozilla Firefox. I never, never, never use IE: IE is a way to let
bad guys subvert your system to their own purposes.

Here's a precept to design websites by, from someone with expertise and
experience both:

Any site should be designed so that it's usable as a
dead file tree with no server-side smarts. Any sort of
active pages or search engines should be an add-on, not
essential.
