It's like we're back in 1996 with a MIDI of Enter Sandman lovingly rendered by your Sound-Blaster 16's OPL chip with all the intensity of elevator music.

I remember the line back in those days: "If I wanted your web site to make noise, I'd lick my finger and rub it across the screen."

Oddly anachronistic since monitors don't use that kind of glass anymore.

Not to defend auto-play, but I can't imagine life where flash is not click-to-play. Which also handily solves most auto-playing problems in one go as well. HTML5 will make this more difficult of course...

Is "evil" really the word?

What will I play during my Flash intro?
