STOP ABUSING FLASH!
I think Flash is wonderful piece of technology and its so much better and interactive compared to animated gif.
But companies like Nike (http://www.nike.com/speed/home/home_en_us.html?l=en_sn) have absolulte disregard dialup users of the Internet.
Im quoting Nike as an example because they do it all the time but there are other companies do overuse Flash.
The bloody popup flash screen which consumes my entire 19" screen (Evil 2 - Popup)
Talk about usability! Sorry, HCI is always in my mind.
Usability and good design always have to come hand in hand. You cannnot disregard one for the other for the sake of art.
Btw, Im connected to the Internet from the Uni. But I can imagine the pain for the dialup users who are using Pentium 3s. Maybe Nike thinks that people who cannot afford broadband and Pentium 4 2.8Ghz can't afford their shoes? Mind you, Im wearing a $180+ pair of trainers but they ain't Nike! I rather pay money for quality like Asics than some overpaid fat art-media company.
