Gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Yes, Flash web pages look cool, but they take FOREVER to load–and I’m working on DSL! Anybody who works with the internet enough to make a living building web pages should know better than to use Flash.

Why people, Why? Am I missing something? I can immitate the look of any Flash site using basic html and css. Maybe some of the video fetures would be missing, but who cares? Flash for web based games, okay. But do we really need things like Dr. Pepper’s floating bubbles menu? (Let me take this opportunity to apologize to Dr. Pepper. I love Dr. Pepper, and I hope this doesn’t strain our relationship. Also, I haven’t actually been to Dr.Pepper’s site in a while, so they might have fixed their page by now. . . but I doubt it.)

Maybe in a few years when our connection speeds are a million times faster, then Flash will be the way to go, and I’m sure Adobe will claim they were ahead of the game, which they are . . . but they’re too far ahead right now.
