I was forgetting one site which had been *so* clever that not only did
it tell me my browser was incapable of flash, it even somehow
suppressed the flashblock button which would have let me play the
flash presentation if I had wanted to.

I suppose, in the interests of knowledge, I *should* have investigated
what he was doing wrong. But I'm afraid I just shrugged my shoulders
and left. The site had evidently been so memorable that I needed a
while to even remember that it had existed, and I really can't say
where it was now. Ho hum.
