Re: That movie channel site (again)

Hi,

I think the text links are a nice improvement, however the JavaScript
rollovers take a painfully long time to load (and I'm on satellite), and are
overwhelmingly large. I'd rather see more of what's going on with the
movies, than look at image links, and I miss the slide show. The link images
also require a monitor that can display millions of colors. This monitor
only displays *thousands* of colors and I see visible "lines" in the
images because some of the colors have dithered to others.

Also... the Buckeye Movie Channel logo is very large. That is good if you'd
like people to concentrate on the logo, but as for me, I'd rather see what's
going on with The Buckeye Movie Channel  --show me a movie slide show up
close, in my face! Isn't that what it's all about?

Other than that, the site is much more peaceful to the eye. I'm really glad
you decided against the lavender background --in my opinion, it really
detracted from your content, because it was sooooo busy. However, gray is
kind of dingy (sorry), have you tried a white background for "crispness?"

Lauren
