I have a question that's actually related to work (gasp! I work!).
We're working on a web site that's directly aimed at college students. For this site their is supposed to be Flash animation on the intro page and music.
My question is this. Yes, it's aimed at the college crowd, so hip is what's desired. But is music a bad idea? How many people surf the web in their room vs. in the library/computer lab (for on-campus students)? From your experiences, do school computers have updated enough technology to support Flash animation?
Any help would be appreciated folks. I have my own opinions, but I need to present something concrete to a 60 year old man writing this.
ETA: If you all could pimp this out to as many people as possible, that would be great. I'm the youngest person in the office and they often rely on me for information that pertains to younger than my age group, so sometimes I just need help. Help!
