Thanks for the link, but... ARRRRGGGHHH!!

The site is so overdone with stupid "flash", as to be virtually unusable! 
Yes, I can navigate and see stuff, but the way they implemented their "gallery" 
takes the blooming cake! You "mouse over" an image from a whacked-out 
"scrollbar" you can barely see, and then click on it. The big image comes up... and 
FADES into view over the course of something like 5-10 seconds?! COME ON!! Who 
comes up with this garbage?! Just give me a stinking GALLERY for crying out 
loud! When I click something, I expect to SEE it... not have to wait for it to 
"fade in"! (The actual download takes about 1-2 seconds. The rest of the time is 
waiting for someone's idea of "clever programming" to do it's thing.)

I gave up after trying to look at three images. I would be there all night, 
just trying to browse their stupid gallery! The worst part is, some of the 
images were interesting... but having to wait almost 10 seconds for EACH one to 
fade-in?! I think not!

I would nominate that site as a perfect example of grossly OVER-DOING the 
design! GADS!!! :P (Oh, yeah... much of the text was *dark grey* against a 
*black* background! WHO designs this stuff?!?!)
