Today, "Flash" is being used for the purposes that animated GIFs
have been serving in the past. But with "Flash", you can annoy the
user not only with jumping, popping and dancing graphics, but with
beeping, boinging and crunching sounds, and furthermore, with lots
of annoying and needless interaction. In other words, "Flash" is a
replacement for HTML. :-)
