My point is that ANY time to load a web site is too long. In today's instant gratification word, computer responses are expected to be virtually instantaneous. (I am a software developer with ~30 yrs experience so I know computers.) Of course they aren't always... And not to mention that everyone has T1 or even DSL/cable connections. More and more do but still not everyone. I think that web response time needs to be considered when creating a site and thought given to even the possibility that someone will click away before a site is fully revealed. I know that I am not alone in thinking that a blinking (or otherwise) "loading" message is significant annoyance. Dave. -- David Keenan, ausdlk@swbell.net on 4/29/2006
