WebWord Comment -- Someone told me this was sexy. Note: Not "sexy" like sexual intercourse but "sexy" like cool and interesting. Wink, wink.

I hate to say it, but he should have launched his site into a new window. If he's not going to use a fluid layout, he's prone to making incorrect assumptions about my window width. If I have to fiddle with basic browser controls to correctly view a web page, I question the mindset behind the company or designer.

no, indeed, it's not too sexy. A little sleek, but definitely not sexy. Yeah. Jelly letters? Sexy? Hmmph.

So I hit the link, watch for a bit, and hit the back button to get out. No joy. Hit it again & more.... can't get back to where I was. What's "usable" about that? Sites that capture your browser window and won't give it back suck.

I don't understand. It doesn't capture my Netscape 7. Buttons are pretty annoying.

I find the web site extremely disturbing.

not sexy, not really cool - flash is a form of time robbery and in terms of usability it's a paradigm disruption.
