Information doesn't always need to be flashy. If you can get your point across without having to present something outrageous, then please do. There's a time and a place for animated GIFs. Unfortunately, 99% of the Web page creators out there think that gaudy graphics are a godsend, and that they should be used at every opportunity. UGH! If your eyeballs hurt, you can turn off GIF animations in IE by selecting 'Tools,' then 'Internet Options.' Click the Advanced tab, and in the Multimedia section, deselect 'Play animations.' No more sudden movements. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to do this in Netscape. I guess you're stuck with those dancing hamsters?
