I hate Flash! Even with a fast cable connection, I still have to wait for your site to load. I can imagine how long it takes for people still stuck with dial-up. There are areas near here where you would be lucky to get a 25-27K connection and high speed access is not available other than through satellite. If memory serves, something like 50% of US internet users are still using dial-up, so why create a site that drives half the potential customers crazy. More steak, less sizzle.
