That's groovy, but when my browser shows me "Downloading - 1% complete" for
more than two seconds, I'm out of there. And so are an awful lot of dial-up
consumers.

I don't design a web site based upon whether or not I think the restaurant
I'm designing it for has or doesn't have people who like Flash in their
target audience. I design it to appeal to people who might be attracted to
that kind of dining experience. Of course, if I ever do a site for a
restaurant that decorates its walls with flatpanels displaying kewl
animation, I might reconsider that.
But in the meantime, the only company I can think of that should be
specifically targeting Flash aficionados is Macromedia.
