in the three years the web has existed, the web design community as a whole has discovered the one great truth: developing for the web is just like developing for a cdrom. you've probably heard different, but that's just propaganda from all the techies that are mad because people no longer develop text-only pages.

the truth is that people enjoy the long downloads of cdrom-type graphics and sound, implementation of complex director-style animations, transitions, and rollovers across multiple platforms is now quite simple, and content updates, although not needed in a cdrom environment, are easily handled. in short, if you have developed for cdrom in the past, designing for the web is a snap.

i've been working on a cdrom-type interface for 0sil8. it's still in an early phase (i've not implemented any sound or rollovers yet), but you get the general idea.
