[Gllug] Off Topic Not a Plug

[Rev Simon Rumble]

Perhaps you should explain to them that the Web is not a Powerpoint
presentation.  A quick definition of the term "hypertext" might be
appropriate:

===
hypertext

A linkage between related text. For example, by selecting a word in a
sentence, information about that word is retrieved if it exists, or
the next occurrence of the word is found. In the Windows version of
this software, you can hypertext to the definition of any term you
encounter by clicking on the word or highlighting the phrase.

Hypertext is the foundation of the World Wide Web. Links embedded
within Web pages are addresses to other Web pages either stored
locally or on a Web server anywhere in the world. Links can be text
only, in which case they are underlined, or they can be represented as
an icon of any size or shape. The hypertext concept was originally
coined by Ted Nelson in the mid 1960s as a method for making the
computer respond to the way humans think and require information. The
terms "hypertext" and "hyperlink" are used synonymously. See
hyperlink.

And yes, does exactly what you said in IE.  Loads alright on our 2 meg
line, but the Flash is very very annoying.
