The anchor text of links in that page always looks laughable to me, but I
promised myself not to spend much time on that long-forgotten Web site. I
guess I ought to have said something like:
"If you browser does not support Flash, just holler, click <here>, or go to
a <different site>. If the design of this site infuriates you, I suggest
Prozak with a glass of water. Complaints by E-mail to my spam trap at
roy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; I like big attachments too, especially ones that mess
about with my Registry"
To phrase this much more professionally, I would replace "holler" with
"shout". That'll do... time to make some changes to the front page...
...or not.
