Sarcasm? These sites perform terrible on even modern systems. Worst offenders usually involve any kind of scrolling.

It's the anti-moore: while smart people at Intel shrink transistors, these people build virtual machines on virtual machines to keep multiplying the constants in Big O.

I agree that Flash not the way to go anymore. I'm just saying that there was once an interactive "bar", and that bar has been obliterated and forgotten and now we're playing catch-up. It's exiciting and interesting, all over again, and there's something to be said about that. (But it's also fun to reminisce about how badass flash once was (check out the http://thefwa.com/ archives going wayyyy back), and still is: skrillexquest.com)

These simple, linear CSS3 transitions just don't do it for me, having once experienced that. But again, it will get there in time.
