Somebody on the IRC channel ("Alter-Ego") said that adobe products allow<br>average users to create great web sites. I disagree. I think that they<br>allow people who would have created great web sites without adobe do do
<br>things a bit differently. People who would have created lousy web sites<br>without adobe will still create lousy web sites - they'll just have a<br>meaningless animated splash page on them.<br>_______________________________________________

<br>I just today was using a new install of Firefox lacking all the "plugins". The experience of so many websites being essentially unusable unless one has the "eye candy" turned on and plugins downloaded is depressing. It blocks the handicapped folks using screen readers. It just plain smells of a society that has become so Attention Span Deficient that "if it don't flash they won't look at it"
