They could have easily done the slider/slideshow in jquery. But then again web design at any big institution is done through a board and that's where the problem lies.

And the way I see it, if the flash content is unnecessary (which I think it is), why include it at all? "Because it looks nice" ? I hope not. Form follows function. Function and practicality are the goals. Unnecessary, inaccessible Flash slideshows are a step backwards. Thanks for reading. Mirza,
