Don't forget the internal spalsh pages for every brand.


I predicted on this list some weeks ago that within 30 days of launch,

boo.com will be working on a "No Flash" version, so I guess I'll have

to take another look on 2 December.


As a side note, its interesting to see "Miss Boo", aka the Talking

Paperclip, aka Bob, make yet another appearance as the savior of

non-intuitive interfaces. You notice that Adobe or Yahoo never need

to resort to that trick...
