Re: Feedback on demo

Greetings,

My two cents, no refunds:

I suspect that at least 77% of your site's visitors also have a kidney
that they could do without, but that doesn't mean they're visiting
your site so as to be able to waste it away, too.

So if I can give those 77% a better understanding of the product through
a Flash demo, then I think its a good idea.

1) "Flash demo" and "good idea" in the same sentence: is any further
comment necessary?

2) Let's be brutally honest: if you can't create enticing text to
describe your product, why do you suppose you have the capability of
producing a Flash movie that will? Possibly, it might work on the
unwashed masses <g>, but hurling a Flash movie at we members of the
intelligentsia is no way to win friends and (favorably) influence
people.

3) If you knocked on my door, and I immediately opened the door and
proceeded to ignore you whilst I set up my AV equipment so I could
show you a documentary about me, would you consider that a "good
idea"?

4) With "ActiveX controls and plug-ins" disabled in IE, your web site
is a totally blank screen. Is that also a good idea?

5) I have DSL, and I gave up at "12%".
