Boring preloaders are a NO-NO in my book. Your preloader lacks 

entertainment value, repeats cycling for the entire minute that it 

takes your site to load via 56k modem, and *then* it just keeps 

sitting there till I figure out that it's actually *done*, and that 

I'm supposed to "do something now".


Based on the vast popularity of boring preloaders out there, and most 

people's unwillingness to create *entertaining* preloaders, I believe 

that one way you can distinguish yourself is to master *creative* 

preloader design and construction ... your future customers and 

viewers will certainly appreciate the difference!


(The point being that it is "common knowledge" that if the viewer is 

not "entertained" within the first 8 seconds of arriving at a site, 

he/she is 50% likely to *leave*, and the probability goes up as the 

seconds pass.)


HTH,

                                   We need them.

                                 May we have them?

                                 If not, why not?
