>I'm not crazy about the new UT login screen and front page. I find the flashing cursor disconcerting when I enter my username and password into the textbox. Probably caused by the mega-dose of animated gifs or something. I feel like I'm going to get a seizure from it.

I believe it is done using Flash. I have cable-modem at home and it looks nioce. I like it. At the office box I do not have the software installed (to handle Flash animations) so I just see a white square where the UT animated logo goes. NBD.
