Ah, c'mon, man. He's just expressing an opinion.

Like I don't happen to like pop-up ads and having to close two or three extra windows with every webpage I surf to, or have to be careful where I click in case a pop-up appears below my pointer an instant before and I end up in some sort of disreputable commercial back alley of the Net. Or having to keep on telling sites that NO! I don't want to install Gator or Xupiter or any other spyware or change my default homepage on my browser just because I happen to surf to a particular webpage while looking for some piece of information.

But I've got no problems with Shockwave. In fact I think it's great and adds a lot to the Internet. The presentations look great (providing your processor is fast enough) and file sizes are usually pretty manageable. I only wish I could afford Macromedia Director so I could make some of my own.

Speaking of which... seen this site yet? stonetrek.com
