GettyGames For Kids

Here's the first website I've found that uses Adobe Flash Player 9: the J. Paul Getty Museum’s newly launched GettyGames for kids. It's slower and more boring than most websites I've seen using Flash Player 8, but at least it didn't crash IE6. Maybe that's because Flash Player nudged me into accepting its latest download two days ago. The object of this tedious website is to teach kids about art. Haw, haw, haw. I waited five minutes for a jigsaw puzzle to load, then gave up! "We hope that Getty Games helps kids become art lovers and museum-goers" trills Peggy Fogelman, assistant director of education and interactive programs at the J. Paul Getty Museum (CLICK). Wanna bet, Peggy? This boring tosh wouldn't persuade me to visit JP's museum. Get rid of all that Flash nonsense and concentrate on getting screens and games to load. Fast! Visit Muppet Central to learn how Flash Player can be used (a Coxsoft Art Silver Surfer Friendly Award winner: CLICK).
