KIRSTEN KOCKEROLS:

Funny thing is though... that Gabo waz the first person I ever saw using

flash and I have a lot of respect for his work and I am a BIG fan therof ...

BUT ... I think Gabo can come back and learn a bit from the "Alcazar

Revolver" that EVOLVED from the actual Gabo concept...


....same sound and almost the same navigation.... 


NOTE: that is NOT Gabo's sound and IT is NOT the same Nav-sys AT ALL!! -

that is the result of the last year's work .. and yes it did start of as a

challenge to get the Gabo Revolver working ... BUT EVOLVED into an

"IMPROVED" and REALLY hard to copy site .... :Þ


Here is the deal:


Load both ... and you choose ROFL!


I do not think there is anything that "Gabo Mandoza" can tell me about

Flash3 t'day...

(Just had to say that ...)


Kind Regards

Crashed my NetScrape 4.51 Mac 8600.  System 8.0.  Worked on IE5 PC, Win 95.

Pentium 200.

I'm with Kristen on this.  It's one thing to "borrow" an idea from somebody,

but the

Alcazar site is way too reminiscent of Gabocorp.  I appreciate your efforts

to do some cool

Flash stuff, and know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but

this one is a

little over the "borrowing" edge for my personal taste.  It also took far

too long to load,

even on a T1, for an average surfer, but your text on the load did keep my

interest a bit.

I really liked the "that was the 80% done beep."  Good sense of humor.

Obviously you have

an interest in the "dimensional scaley spinny" side of web design, and I

look forward to

your future creations.
