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.
I'm on cable 1mb and still skip.
