RE: FLASH: FW: [wwwac] teaching good design through bad design

[Olympic Health Management Systems]

My main criticism would be that their use of flash is pointless. What on

their site highlights the capabilities of flash? further, the general design

and layout is mediocre. they could have done a much better job - more

intuitive - and much more user friendly. also, the fact it cost $1mil is

absurd....
