I concur with Susan. Why goto the bother of doing it all in flash? Because of the pure lack of content, you could have knocked that whole site out in plain old html in less than an hour...

My first attempt was a total bust. My main browser (FF) I do't install anything - I use out of the box so that I see what users who don't install see. So no Flash. Instead I got what I continue to be a completly useless msg, especially for a corporate site "To view this website, You need to have Flash Player 7 installed on your system. Please briefly visit the Macromedia download page to quickly install the required software before entering our site. Altenatively, we will shortly provide a text only HTML version for users who cannot view active content." So then I switch to IE 6 and waited for it to load. And thought maybe it hadn't all loaded becasue it was a black and white page with text links that started on the about page. I don't think a website should start on an about page, and I see absolutely no reason for a flash site that had no graphics (except for a map that zooms on a scroll). Also there isn't enough text to tell me anything (except on the press page). And I didn't like the little arrow that changed the size, since it was just links and short text why would I need it larger. Sorry, but I thought this was a perfect example of technology for technologies sake. -- Susan R.
