Re: FLASH: Gabo Mystery

Daniel,


Ggggh....


I hate to keep feeding this fire, but I would like to add one quick thing.


I think that many people were impressed by the Gabocorp site because it was

one of the earlier, well done, Flash sites out there.


I first saw it when it first went live and created the initial buzz.  At the

time it was very impressive, now I would most likely second your indifferent

"eh."  Mostly the "mystery" about this guy and the theory that it was really

a Macromedia promotional site are what keeps this guy in the spotlight.
