Oh, and as a side note: how dull and boring would websites be if you only used HTML and nothing else?

About as boring as most video games today that rely too heavily on graphics/presentation and have nothing else of value to offer.

In the old days, having a website with great content used to be enough. Then, Generation iPod came along, and you know the rest.

I hope you're not implying I'm one of the "Generation iPod".. Since I'm way older than that. And haven't never touched or seen an iPod in action ;) But well, I didn't mean Flash and all such fancy stuff, I was only talking about CSS. Proper usage of CSS makes sites a whole lot more readable and easier to comprehend and browse than plain HTML. With HTML you're forced to use tables etc if you've got lots of stuff to lay out on the page and you want it to be easily comprehensible. CSS allows you to easily lay them out clearly on the page, among other things. You do realize that it's usually used for completely other stuff than the "flashy" things? It's Flash that's (abused?) used for those ;)

Great content is still enough, but the web is used for many different things today which maybe the Generation Typewriter isn't realizing. ;)

Preferring a certain type of video game or website is one thing, but limiting yourself to only one kind is still likely to be a loss for you.
