yea, the brozer thing is confusing me. See, most people now a days have 1024x768 size desktop. I design to that spec. The people who have (or are viewing) in 800x600, need to either change there preferances, or get a new computer. There is no need to scroll left or right if you can view everything.

Did you want our comments or not?

I run 1280x1024 thank you very much. I keep all brower windows at 800x600 for several reasons.
1) I read faster. Narrower columns improve reading speed as you are less likely to get off track as you track across a column
2) Your site is nice, but not THAT nice. I do other things when I'm on the computer, being able to do multiple things in multiple windows makes me a happeir person, and things get done (usually) faster

and as for flash, whats is the big deal with flash? i say, don't knock it until you try it.

I know how to use flash, and I have no problem with flash if you use it for a movie. You're using it to waste my time. Its not so much that I have an inflated ego (ok, maybe it is) as it is the fact that the time wasted was utterly unneccessary.

So why did I not like it?
1) Its pointless. You could have reproduced roughly the same effect in html/css and had a lower filesize. It would load faster, and spend less time animating
2) It animates unneccessarily. I don't care if you know how to use flash! If I was a client, I'd look in your portfolio to see your flash talent, not your navigation. Again, it is USELESS. All it does is waste time, increase bandwidth usage, and mean I navigate through your site slower, and hey! Suddenly I have a disincentive to buy from you, because I want my customers to get in, buy something then get out. Your site doesn't do that.

You asked for comments, and we provided. It is your RIGHT to ignore them obviously, but maybe you need to get off your "upgrade your computer if you need to scroll" and realize that maybe just MAYBE other people will look at your site, and maybe they don't want to get a new computer.
