Tim,

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please do *NOT* rely on
Shockwave plugins to access content on the new site.  IMO, this is far worse
than image maps, because, in essence, it is forcing people to stick to one
piece of buggy software in order to use the site.  The advantage of a pretty
face is not worth the surfers you will lose.

I really really really like the idea of getting content up and accessable
first, then making it look nice second.  Priorities, man, priorities.

Ditto.  As cool as Flash and Shockwave can be, they should always be
optional, with no real loss of content to those not choosing to use
them.

I love Flash, don't get me wrong.  But I do recognize it as mostly
fluff when it comes to actually getting information or files.

I like Flash alot when I'm at work, where we have 6 T1's and a DS-3.
I often turn images off entirely when I'm at home, even over ISDN.
