That's also gotta be influenced by your target market, though. If
you're catering to people who often use old computers and browsers that
are also from 1995, trying to use modern HTML stuff will leave them out.
I know for many years I just clicked away from any site that used heavy
animations. Even these days (with much a much better computer, modern
browsers and a cable modem), I have little patience for sites that
become useless if there's any lag between you and them.
