Dec. 31st sounds good.... but then again it might carry over to the 1st when many people are home on vacation, and might want to visit the site? Just a thought.

Bah. you gotta download the entire flash file AND have a plug in for your browser to see it. A good HTML engine renders the HTML as it is loaded. And, good (read: standard compliant) HTML using CSS can do a lot of great things without using flash, JavaScript, or other crutches. The cascading menus on my site are done with CSS, no javascript.

Well I just finished the flash design, and its TOTAL size is about 47 kb. Yes, I said TOTAL SIZE. Forty-seven kb is about HALF the size of our current header, and look how simple our current header is with one square logo at the left and a small amount of text. So, bah humbug yourself, scrooge!!! 
That said, I'll be taking down the board sometime soon. Very likely tomorrow evening before the festivities begin. So, don't spaz if the site is unavailable for a day or two over this weekend. Never fear, she will return bigger and better than ever.
Happy New Years, guys.....
