I beg to differ Volker, used sensibly, - note that phrase - Flash can really enhance the ease with which a user can get the message. For example I found the animations at:- http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?lang=en_US&catalogId=-840&categoryId=2035724&cgmenbr=1&langId=-1&cgrfnbr=2035724&cntrfnbr=1&storeId=1&cntry=840 http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=-840&storeId=1&langId=-1&dualCurrId=73&categoryId=2302836 http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=-840&storeId=1&langId=-1&dualCurrId=73&categoryId=2302836
to be very effective in getting the message across about what the ThinkPad was, and was able to do. Those presentations made up my mind for me.
