A Maybe, but there are two problems. First, they take a lot of bandwidth. If you have a T1 line things load rather quickly, but many users have 28 or 33 speed modems. Until the average user of the Internet is equipped with faster download speeds which is a year or two (or three) away it seems best to limit things a bit. There is also the browser problem. What runs on Internet Explorer 5 will not necessarily run on IE3, and what runs on IE5 will not necessarily run on Netscape. Sometimes things will run fine on one browser and crash on another. Many schools do not keep up with the latest browser revisions (even though the two leading ones are free).
