Im heading out of the country this week and will have no access to the internet for 15+ hours since you cannot use the web on a plane. I read last week 1 airline is testing internet on their planes. That would be cool.

I need to inject the internet into my veins :)

Or at least have access anytime, anywhere.

That is the way it should be.

@Sam: LOL….I get nightmares too…just kills me when my dad calls about problems with his computer. I have learned though to tell him he has to bring it to me if he wants updates, troubleshooting etc.

Gives me nightmares just thinking about slow Internet. I wonder when the iPhone will come out directly through apple…

Yep….unfortunately dial up is still common in rural areas….my parents run off dialup, as they cannot get cable or dsl in their area, which is an hour outside Vegas. What really sucks is its slow dialup…28.8. Try downloading a Windows update at that speed….once it took over 11 hours! Also you have to take into consideration that a lot of people surf with javascript off and flash blocked. And although I love flash (been using it since it was FutureSplash Animator), I don’t believe that flash is the be all, end all of web design. It’s a tool, and like other tools should be used when it is needed. Clients can be the worst at demanding things that aren’t necessary…like “Make the logo BIGGER!”. As the saying goes… “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.

Saying all that….I do like your site. :)

Lol :) But if you make it flash heavy, be sure to optimize to be of light weight, because you don’t want your dial up users to go lunch while the site downloads for them :p
Looking forward to see it. 2 designs in a few weeks? Wow, you don’t stop :)
