Flash Can Be Great Fun!

WOW! You were very patient. Sorry to disappoint you now. There is no Flash intro here.

This is exactly my experience with those neat Flash intros. It takes ages for them to load. After waiting half an hour, you are usually presented with a moving logo and a button. Pressing this button will eventually present the page you were waiting for in the first place. So I cannot figure out what the added value of these Flash intros is.
BTW: Please don't try to explain the use of Flash intros to me. I probably won't listen to reason anyway.

It is not that I hate Flash altogether, I simply hate those long loading intros that don't add any functionality.

e.g. Look at what Joe Cartoon does with Flash. A little rude maybe, but brilliant all the same.

PS: This page dates back from a time when almost any self respecting web site had a Flash intro. Flash was hip and you'd had to have an intro if you wanted to be taken seriously. Dial-up internet connections were still very common in those days, so loading those heavy Flash intros simply took ages.
I don't know if it is because of this page, but fortunately the Flash intros have almost all been cancelled. Let's just pretend that this page was the cause of the demise of the Flash intro days.
