Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Hi Mike

Do both, so users get the snappiest that their system can handle, and you
don't cut out any users/potential customers with preconceived ideas about
what they can and can't see.

Bear in mind that a goodly-proportion of the flash-disabled users out
there will be in business-land.

Cheers
Martin
