[thelist] Flash version of Heirmenus

[Erik Mattheis]

Yes, I'm aware of both of these "issues" and made sure client was 
aware too ... given that the audience of the site is people shopping 
for micro-miniture computer chips, the hope is that they'll have 
something more than 640x480 and will be savvy enough to figure it out.

I showed them a non-frames version which I liked better because it 
didn't have these issues, but they want to keep the frames, and this 
was the best solution I could come up with.
