Ok, I don't know what happened here. Since everyone commented on the
improvement of the site, I went back to look at it again and it's
changed... I can actually read things on it *grin*. I guess I had to
restart Netscape again after shockwave downloaded itself. My apologies;
please disregard my previous comment regarding the frames. I don't know if
you went back to fix some things, or if just restarting Netscape did it.

One thing though; I should have been able to see the entire thing from the
start; if I didn't have shockwave installed, and saw your page, that would
be a bit of a problem, because whoever is seeing it would see what I saw
(which wasn't pretty). I would seriously consider doing a non-shockwave
version or adapt what you have so that it can be seen without it. I know
I'm being a pain about this, but I tend to favor a minimalist approach to
design (no java or animation, no plugins, no music or video, VRML, etc.). 

My new comment, however, is that the animation should only go on for one
cycle and then stop... it's still visually distracting. 

The rest of my critique (excluding any reference to frames whatsoever)
remains the same.
