Hahaha, I swear that one about the frog hits home… My last client asked me to make a little mouse cursor with a cat that wandered around the screen following the mouse. He said the kids would love it. It was the school board’s website. :huh: ---

> client: “we want a website that can play DVD quality video, but we don’t want to use streaming video and the load time must be zero.” > designer: “that’s impossible. everything has a load time. DVD quality runs about 100 megs a minute.” > client: “we’ll take our business elsewhere…” Thats stay one smart bradah! :thumb: ---
