Re: <nettime> (fwd) SFMOMA & INTEL LAUNCH 010101 AT ONE MINUTE PAST MIDNIGHT JAN 1

[curator <curator {AT} conceptualart.org>]

Once we relented to the Flash 5 exclusive interface we think we found a
mailing list in there, but could find no way to access it other than
clicking and dragging some annoying sticky flash threads.  It's not even a
mailing list, it seems more like a sort of chat room.  You have to log
on....just what we need another account.  And that scrolling text..why is it
always so slow.  We spent a good half hour mucking around in there and
didn't see anything but the interface.  Saw a list of artists involved, but
no work.  We might have been more aggressive, but gee it shouldn't be so
hard.

Pending a less Flash-y alternative we second the vote for disappointing.
