The majority of traffic to my sites takes place just
after lunch hour. I have also seen surveys that
indicate that many, many of the people "surfing" for
enjoyment do so from the office. I worked at an office
where I was *supposed* to be doing that (research
don'chaknow) ... and it was still embarrasing to have
some web site pop a silly midi file - in one case it
was a .wav file of Dr. Ruth talking about ... uhm ...
(use your imagination okay?) I finally unplugged the
$%^& speakers.

Anything that pops up unannounced this way has the
potential to be embarrasing to your visitors, even when
the topic is not quite so delicate. It's like a giant
billboard saying "Bob is goofing off". Try to keep that
in mind when you are designing these spiffy pages, eh?
<g> Embarrasment is not the first feeling you want
associated with your products.
