Galina,
I have to weigh in on your side: it's a beautiful site and the random
nature of the presentation, together with the enthralling content serves to
provide a unique experience for an adventurous viewer (and one equipped with
the latest version of Flash, apparently). I enjoyed it, as I did your
previous version. I've spent considerable time exploring your various nooks
and crannies without any problems. What I enjoy about a website like this
is that even after following what I think was all of your options, I'm not
still not sure that I hit them all. It's certainly not intuitive, nor is it
typical. Congratulations.
Keith

Dear Galina,
Please don't take this as a personal attack, it's meant as constructive
criticism.
Your website is bad. The annoying music, weird 'spinning dots', confusing
and illogical design, and unbelievably slow downloads were bad enough, but
when my computer totally locked up and had to be rebooted, that really
p*ssed me off. I'm using Windows 2000, the latest version of Internet
Explorer, and a super fast cable connection, so the problem is not here in
Wyoming.
I'd love to see your work, but it's impossible to do so. I will not revisit
your website until radical changes/improvements are made.
Several list members have recently posted links to simple and well-designed
websites featuring their beautiful work. There's a lot to be said for
simple, clean design and speedy downloads.
Best regards,
Dave Rose

As to your web site, I have to say it's one of the rudest sites I've
encountered in some years, it grabbed my browser and wouldn't let go,
wouldn't even let me turn off the sound, and wouldn't let me go further
than the second page, wouldn't even let me enlarge the font. I had to
Force Quit to close the page, which also reset other pages I had open.
Now I suppose if you've got a high speed connection all is just fine,
but I don't.
