Dumbass -

You're missing the whole point. They do stuff like that because Freds
love that ****, especially the cheesy "intense" music. The Freds then
Walter Mittyishly imagine themselves to be George Hincapie, then buy
the product.

That **** works. That's why they do it. It doesn't mean that Flash
sucks, it means that you personally don't like what appeals to the
general Fred public.

People who write flash can't make a fist?

Some would say they spent too much time doing just that...

Wrong again, Henry. I can't think of one person, except Web designers
and pony-tail wearing slaves to fashion, who don't find Flash and
techno music irritating.

Do you actually know any Freds who dream of being a domestique? All
the Freds I know, including me, would never spend the kind of money
Hincapie wants for a nondescript jersey. The only people I know who
would consider buying one are the guys who actually BELIEVE what they
read in GQ.

Wrong again, Hank. Flash, as it is commonly used, pisses people off.

Flash has its place in Web design. It works to build anticipation,
like when you are introducing a new car on a Web site. Once that new
car is on the market and I want to find out what options are available,
I don't want to mess with it. I am too impatient.

I'm sorry to hear that being called a dirty old man is an insult. It
was my top result in that vocational test they give in high school. I
know for sure that the pre-dirty old men outnumbered premed at
Michigan State by a huge margin. Then again, between Bali Hai and
Strohs, my memories are a bit vague.

The great thing about being a dirty old man is that the Internet puts
the career goals within the reach of anyone with a bit of dedication.
For anyone just starting out, I highly recommend dual monitors.

Dumbass -

If that **** didn't work, it wouldn't get used. Major retailing
corporations (car companies, etc.) put a lot of $$$$ into studying that
stuff objectively with focus groups and the like.

Check out:

www.miniusa.com

for instance. Total fluff. But obviously it works - a company like BMW
is going to make a presentation that makes the biggest impression on
the greatest number of people.

thanks,

Obviously not. I'm not a bad guy, just misunderstood.
