yeah, that bugged the hell out of me...

after hunting for dealers, you present a little box (that i entered my 
zip into) with an option to "close window," except after all the pop-
up windows i've seen, there's no new window, and the box isn't a 
window, making me momentarily afraid i'd close the parent 
window... the *real* window...

around with the box... however, when i'm near the end photos, 
sometimes it accelerates too quickly and i end up playing mouse 
tennis for a second with the photo i want...

the little quotes during movie loads are a nice way to handle for a 
horrible function of Flash on the web...
