I don't want to start a flame-war here,
but I have to side with Andrew on this one.
These menus may be wicked cool on a high-
speed connection, but on dial-up they just
make an already slow and frustrating experience
even more aggrevating.
I don't have a problem with them providing
the menus, as long as they still provide a
way to access the library the old way for
us dial-up cheapstakes.  You know, the way some
sites provide a frames and no-frames entrance.
Not everyone will have high-speed internet,
especially in developing countries that may
just now be joining the information superhighway.
