I got impatient, too ... but the site is not geared to you and me - it is
geared toward pre-teens and teens, and they love that kind of crap
(generally speaking).  You have to know your audience, and if the audience
likes it, then fine ... I would have done without the frames, too, though.
But the Flash, even though I wouldn't have picked it, seems effective.
