instinct?
(And they're even worse in this modern age where the only monitors
*available* are slit-shaped: half-height and excessively wide.)
If it didn't work, people wouldn't be doing it.
You have no idea how much I wish that were actually true. :(
In any case, I find it puzzling that so many web designers have started
going back to the late-90's school of web design which unofficially
dictated "make sure the first screenful of your main page contains as
*little* meaningful content as possible - the more useless the entry
screen is, the better."
