April 26, 2000 Flash is Evil Flash is "the solution for producing and delivering high-impact web sites." It's also a solution for making your site highly annoying and downright unusable. W-N does not use FLASH because we have not had the time to learn the code yet. When that time comes we will only use where it is usefull. Ie.: to amuse, speed image delivery and inprove information delivery. So donot block FLASH on our account. John Curtin's site is an example of a good use of FLASH

From our expert Norbert Wienholz

It is perfectly doable to have an efficient and user-friendly Flash site; just as it is perfectly possible to have a confusing HTML site (as we all very well know...). Most Flash developers are still in the 'new toy stage', where they just go overboard with their capabilities; but there are also some promising sites out there showing how Flash can be used efficiently.
I don't think the problem of most Flash sites is the technology per se, but rather the way the designers and programmers have implemented it.
And, just like in a lot of situations, there are some tools that are more appropriate to some tasks, and others that are more appropriate to different ones. Some sites just scream out for the Flash treatment, others are served just fine with straightforward HTML.

If you are only going to be registering one name, I'd advise to not use a hyphenated one. Most domain names that are made of compound words or phrases omit the dash. People have become accustomed to that practice. Adding a hyphen is confusing. An analogy is to give your child a common name with an alternate spelling. For the rest of their lives they have to tell people how to spell their names. If you have a hyphen, you'll always have to tell people to add it. Imagine the difficulties of promoting such a name on the radio. Larger corporations that can afford to buy many domains will often pick up various permutations of their corporate domain. That would include names with hyphens, and other top-level domains, such as .net, .org. .ca and so on. If you can afford to do so, then go right ahead. Competition has caused the price of domains to fall considerably. DomainsAtCost.ca offers a great deal with most domains going for $14 each. Canadian .ca domains go for a bit more at $25.
We now have www.WindowsOnWestmount.com and www.WednesdayNight.net (soon active)

.CA name, thousands of Canadians businesses and individuals are rushing to reserve their .CA name before it's taken.

There are several free hosting services that allow members to run scripts from a cgi-bin directory. Examples include Hypermart, WebJump, Tripod, Virtual Avenue and Dreamwater. The usual catch is that you have to post their ads on your pages if you want to use their free services. Even if you run a perl script, if a page is generated by that script, it will cause the server to insert an ad or serve a pop-up window with an ad. If you'd rather not bother debugging perl scripts, there are also a variety of free, remotely hosted scripts that you can insert in to your own Web pages. These are usually commonly used scripts such as message boards, counters, guestbooks, chat areas and so on. You can investigate some at www.cgi2go.com, www.cgiforme.com, www.free-cgi.com or go to the CGI Resource Index's comprehensive list at cgi.resourceindex.com Thanks to Web Q&A MARK STACHIEW

the Canadian Internet Domain Name

Demo Domain (www.demo-domain.com) is a great place to find demos for the big-name games, such as "Quake II." The home page has a refreshingly simple design. There are no busy plug-ins or unnecessary frames. Every section is clearly marked. A handy list of the most recent demos keeps you updated without having to sift through the old stuff. Demo Domain also has a couple of pages' worth of game patches, but the lack of clear explanations and instructions may make novices wary.
