Which reminds me, I was going to post about a flash-only site that I'd
visited some days back, which not only had a flash window which
overspilled my own browser window in both directions, thus throwing
up/down and left/right scrollbars on the browser - I found when I
*did* scroll to the right and down, that the flash object itself had
thrown its own up/down and left/right scroll bars.

One of the benefits once claimed for flash was that it was scaleable.
I guess these deezyners have contrived to factor that benefit out of
their equation.

Fortunately, I've now forgotten the URL of the site mentioned above.
Short term memory, fading grey cells, accelerated garbage collection,
call it what you will.
