I agree, but people really should expand on why when they say things like this.
I can only imagine that this website was designed by someone using a Macbook (or Magic Trackpad), without realising that not everyone can scroll easily with two fingers, which is extremely short sighted.
I have a MBP myself, and I actually enjoyed scrolling through the site, but when I tested it on my Windows PC the animation was jerky and I had to scroll more than I would've liked, overall unenjoyable. I would've closed the page half way through reading and never looked back.
Yes, Mac's are awesome, but web designers need to remember that they're not designing for themselves, they're designing to every conceivable person in their target market.
Scrolling like this is great, but only in short bursts (Unless you're on a Mac w/ trackpad).
I didn't mean to say it's the most revolutionary idea in guitar manufacturing history, just that it was a massive positive step ecologically, and the RnD budget for it was $0.
I went and found my password for this account which I haven't used in an age just to say this is a really good idea, I hope other people who get a chance to talk on TV about this pick up on it.
