"Quit the smart-ass comments" they said, so I forgot all about doing an intro and listened as Plato said

Then theres the people who put 250K worth of graphics, sometimes just one 250K picture on their home page. Of course, they view it at home and it loads instantly as it's in cache and they think it loads up just fine.
Or how about those pages that have to connect to two dozen other pcs on the internet to get data for their page to load. Just one slow connection of the 2 dozen can make you sit there and wait.
