<p>I have a brand new Windows Vista machine. Loaded Firefox on it. And visited PodShow (a podcasting competitor of PodTech&#8217;s).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35034363287@N01/182721271/">This is what it looked like</a>. Now, if a &#8220;normal&#8221; person (non geek) hit this site, what would they do? I&#8217;ll tell you what they&#8217;ll do. They&#8217;ll hit back and get out of there. Note the title tag. Be Patient? No, I click that little green back button and leave before I get hurt. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.</p>
<p>Lesson: always have HTML first before you get to Flash content.</p>
