Great website guys, the flash intro is a move in the right direction
to attracting people to take a look.
I think the flash intro is the animated equivalent of an
exclamation mark :-)
The problem with the flash intro as it stands right now is that
anyone who doesn't have Flash installed on their computer
*** cannot access the site at all ***
The "skip intro" link is actually built into the flash intro, so
if you don't have flash all you see is a blank front page.
The content inside the site is also implemented in flash, so even
if you could skip the intro the situation wouldn't be any better.
Flash is not HTML. Flash is also not ubiquitous. Flash should
*never* be the only way available to access a web site.

(I managed to get news.com.au to see the light on this about
a year ago: for a while the only way to navigate the
AustralianIT web site was via a flash menu. bad, bad, bad...)
