I don't want to start a flame-war here, but I have to side with Andrew on this one. These menus may be wicked cool on a high- speed connection, but on dial-up they just make an already slow and frustrating experience even more aggrevating. I don't have a problem with them providing the menus, as long as they still provide a way to access the library the old way for us dial-up cheapstakes. You know, the way some sites provide a frames and no-frames entrance. Not everyone will have high-speed internet, especially in developing countries that may just now be joining the information superhighway.
