Cripes, I am getting cheesed-off with the
ubiquitous Flash.

I don't mind Flash, but splash pages went out with 2002 and that one runs waaaay too long even by 20th century standards.

Jared Spool of UIE offers a simple recipe for evaluating the usefulness of things like intro pages:

:)

We use splash screens in desktop apps only because the app needs time to initialize and we need to give the user something attractive to look at until it's ready for work.

I've seen some apps actually delay their boot time so they can display their splash screen longer. I don't quite understand that; the user didn't boot the app to look at a splash screen, and users don't go to the Ovaltine web site to look at colored blobs dancing around.

Scotland's "Other Drink" seems to manage really very well
without a dependence on Flash:
