My digest deliveries must be slow...I didn't even see any of the previous Balthasar posts before sending mine off! ------------------------------------- Paul Willoughby wrote: >The first time I visited, your site detected a narrowband connection, but >I'm on a T3 (which I think is 1/2 MB).

How broadband do I need to be? After that message I think I was taken to a scaled-down version of the opening pages (where I had the unreadably dark text experience). When I reloaded I got the full broadband version. ------------------------------------- Sohrab wrote: <rant> You'd think they would care about the high percentage of designers who use a Mac. ------------------------------------- If I'm not mistaken, the site must have been designed on a Mac, otherwise there wouldn't be so many pages where the text is too dark for my PC.
So back to the Balthasar tool itself....anyone tried it yet? I read the FlashKit article, but I would like a second opinion. I plan on trying it out myself in the next day or so.
Another usability flaw: I tried to paste my login password from the email that Balthasar sent me into the onsite form field. No pasting allowed. It didn't work. Boo.
