No, that's not it. Even if I had a "Fast" button, like I do on my
plain old telephone answering machine, I would still be bugged by the
idea that ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY is going only to bring really poor
dumbed-down animations to me.
If you show me a Flash cartoon as good as Road Runner or Roger Rabbit,
then maybe I'll get interested, but right now they're freakin'
primitive and quite simply suck.
