<div>Avery,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My opinion is the Flash player is a harmless a plug-in/helper app. There are many legitimate sites that use it, although most offer the option of html only. I do not use any JavaScript of Flash on my site for accessibility reasons.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ultimately it is your decision whether or not to install Flash, but you could install it and disable it after viewing the site. To disable it in IE, you simply go to: </div>
<div>Tools -> Internet Options -> click on the Programs tab, then -> Manage Add-ons, then select Shockwave Flash and click on the 'disable' radio button and if you ever need it again you could enable it. So, if the concern is that someone my hide malicious code in a flash presentation, you would be able avoid such a possibility by having it disabled.

<div> </div>
<div>That is just a suggestion.</div></font></div>

<blockquote cite="http://" type="cite">I think the problem may be that you either do not have the Macromedia Flash player installed, or that yours is not working properly. If you do not have it installed, you should have seen a message telling you where to go to get it. The link is as follows:
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank">http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
</a> <br> <br>The site was developed using Macromedia Shockwave/Flash, so you would need the Flash Player to view it. <br> <br>I hope this helps,<br> <br>btw I also think the site looks great.<br> <br>Leonard de Beer<br><br>

<dd>I don't think that's the problem here. I'm on Roadrunner, so things<br>
<dd>load pretty fast.<br>
<dd>Besides, it gives me the 'Done' message at the bottom left of the screen. <br><br>
