Static or Dynamic

What would U prefer a static [eg. gif] or a dynamic [eg. Flash]animation on the net.

static imho flash slows down my 56k :)

Static animation is the way to go.

But static animation has its limitations. The programmable aspects of Flash allow for more interaction with the user, isn't it ?

static r u mad? flash is the future, static has its limitations, actionscript goes way beyond them!!!!

it also lags slower connections/computers... a lot of people are still running windows 95/98 systems and a lot of people are also on slower connections (eg. 56k).

Well... I would prefer dynamic/flash, but my connection is a little faster than a 56k (I've got a slow adsl connection). If it was a site for the masses, I'd go for static animation... until Flash is either optimized more or the standard of internet connections becomes faster anyway.

yes I love Flash myself :) If they could get it to stream better...

Flash is the way to go.
Animated gif's are heavy.
Static images are outdated.
