I have loads of bandwidth, but still have Flash turned off by default
(FF AniBlock extension) It's not the download time that bothers me,
it's the fact that Flash is all too often _detrimental_ to the quality
of the page -- it's simply running annoying animated ads in what could
easily be a simple page.

Here's one of the ugliest Flash-heavy sites I know
http://gamesradar.com

(I had _nothing_ to do with this generation of the site!)
