Re: FLASH: Please test a simple hybrid site

[Wayne Townsend]

Hey now, this is starting out to be a great day!


For those who don't know him, Mr. Skyvington is a well known (and very

good) book author, and all around great fellow, now living the good life on

a country farm in a beautiful spot in France.


It's great to have you in our Flash camp William!!

Well, with an intro like that, it's hard to get on you about the hybrid.

Perhaps when you get more time, you can convert the whole thing over to

Flash.


Also looking forward to your Flash-based book site, and any kind of Flash

instructional authoring you might have in mind.  Hint,hint!

Yep, that intro sound has to go William!  I'm sure the good Flashers on

this list will have some suggestions for you.

John can be convicing when he puts his "Mime Police" hat on...


I remember an old joke someone posted last year about John...


"I envision John like Mr. "T" in leathers & chains, and a mohawk haircut:"


John:   "Foo!  Set the Mime on your server."

ISP:     "But I don't want to"

John:   "Smack!  Shuddup Foo!"


;)


Great to have you aboard William!
