So none of you did test. Can you please update me what browser and
systems you people are using along with operating systems. I used flash
because it is compatiable with every operating system and browser, but
it seems it is not. I tested it on windows, MAC, Linux using browsers
FireFox, Mozilla ,IE and safari. It is not working in safari. That I
know. Please update me with the list. So that I should fix it.

My USENET Reader is set for text mode only. I can click on links to
start my browsers when needed. That little extra step is in itself
a hindrance. ...we just have your description and a few posts to
indicate the site was worth visiting.

I use Netscape 4.61, Mozilla, and Firefox -- in that order, to review
web sites. Each is set to no JavaScript and so on. I will enable
the features needed in FireFox when needed. Personally all the bells
and whistles just detract from the medium of communication. I
understand there may have been some content/feedback in your flash
presentation. I don't run Windows-anything at home. I have to use
that slow, insecure product at work. I'm not at work and just didn't
bother to go all the way to find out what your survey was about.
At work you wouldn't reach me as I'm a professional programmer and
as such I'm generally pretty busy.

Just in case you are wondering why reading your post and web site
took too much time -- I browse/read about 280 USENET forums each
day. Certain people and subjects warrant some time. There is
precious little extra time to explore a few dozen links to some
one's idea of a humorous picture or flash presention. I'd prefer
the content in your original message and perhaps I'd respond.
The web can be so much like reading a book and after each
paragraph there is a link to the next paragraph on a different
page and each page has so much non-content to make a huge
difference in the information that I'll want to absorb.

By the way thank you very much to all of you for taking time out at
least for having a look on it.

regards,
Iftikhar

I've not seen the survey yet. However, moods matter. I lead a small
team and basically find that if you're not in the mood to do XYZ
do ABC instead. Fixing mistakes you made while in the wrong mood
just doesn't cut it.
