Re: Entire site in Flash?

Hi again.

 I am a little surprised by your statement that they are
"incredible bandwidth hogs". Flash central starts
displaying within 3 seconds with the opening screen, and
altogether appears to be under 40K for the whole first
"page", and each link after that is under 25K (i think).
Flash is streaming, wonderfully streaming, so viewers
aren't stuck with incomplete images or a blank screen for
nearly as long.

Gabocorp is a little less excusable, for one 188K file is
the main part of it. but i excuse it for the stunning
imagery, and even it doesn't leave you hanging as it loads. 

Keep up the discussion, i am sure someone can argue
successfully against me.
