Wow, this has turned into a rather heated techno-discussion! You could go back 

4 or 5 years and say "show me a site where graphics and colour are used to do 

more than add fluff."


Sheesh! Anyway, for what it is worth, I think a well produced site is a well 

produced site, regardless of the technology used. Classic thinking - start with 

the problem, come up with a solution, then think of the most appropriate (in 

all senses of the word, including availability to users) technology mix to 

implement the solution.


In terms of Jim's example, I personally don't like all of the spinning words 

etc, but there are parts of the Flash movie which make the information more 

readable.
