If you haven't heard, Macromedia is offering the web community their greatest claim to fame, Director (or rather, Shockwave as it's being called online), to enable us to do more than click hypertext. For those of you with the Windoze plug-in in effect here's our embedded page.
This doesn't mean that we should burden the over-taxed net with bloated spew. It's an opportunity to once again get crafty, adding some tasty audio and gratifying interaction.
To wit, we here at Turntable Media bring you this sample Shockwave movie, for all you closet DJ's (117k).
Change it up, with something more on the Afro-centric tip (122k).
