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that was built entirely in flash I had updated the crappy Macromedia Flash software less than a week before, and it was out of date already so I e-mailed the webmaster and told them I wouldn't install more software on an already full hard drive to buy parts that were available from people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. -- Peter da Silva, in a.s.r. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO Tired old sysadmin |
