Or indeed that the brain won't have gone running off to another
agency who are much, much worse than you'd have been.

Actually, the company in question I'd been discouraging for a while
as
a) they don't want to do fun stuff
b) it's small budget stuff
c) they're not fun to work with (not actively bad, just not *fun*,
y'know?)


It wouldn't bother me, but the new agency are really, really bad at
user interface/usability. I guess the coding's good - no

tags on it anyway.
But it was a nice site, with some quite lovely server side browser
sniffing to deliver the appropriate JavaScript/css options. And it
looked good and was usable.


Cheers
Martin
