Hi,
Re: www.fonnisduthchas.com, the home-page slide-show would be an ideal
candidate for MNG format. It's a pity MNG didn't take off (not helped by
the Mozilla / FF guys dropping support for it - plugin still available).
The use of Flash for "Bard McWhyst's Box" seems gratuitous, unless I'm
missing something due to some bit of Flash not working under Linux
(running Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31).
Regards,
James

Instant redirects are a Very Bad Thing (tm) for users. A link is better.
