I love nostalgia posts.  I think all of us who were &quot;webmasters&quot; all have a differed &quot;what we are now&quot;, but if everything didn&#x27;t start this way for me, I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;d be doing what I am doing today regardless.<p>I remember making a ball bounce in Flash with some elasticity and people wanted it on their website no matter what their website was about.  The 90&#x27;s were such strange times.  &quot;Can you put that bouncing ball on my site?&quot;  I guess, but I&#x27;m not sure what it has to do with carpet cleaning....<p>I still get asked to disable the right mouse button, add background music, a counter, or make something blink or scroll, and every now and then... an animated gif (usually of a U.S. flag).<p>Luckily I&#x27;ve been doing this long enough now to say, no, please don&#x27;t do this to yourself or your business.  You&#x27;ve spent too much money and too much time to throw it all away with a tiny design disaster.  But they insist.  Ohhhh they insist.
