When I click on BD's links, a new browser window opens, fills the screen, but when I am finished looking, I can just kill that window and my original browser window remains untouched. I haven't done anything special. In fact, right now I am sitting at someone else's machine and I still get the kind of behavior I want. BD has explained earlier, the slow loading times are not a problem. Clients who can afford him can afford good machines.
