Regarding the other discussion, I didn't really get any solid feeding on
response times. I 'guessed' when I said 4 seconds as the patience
factor for high speed connections. 8-10 seconds might be acceptable for
modem users or even more if they are in dire need of the content. I
looked at a site the other day, the audience should be a range of local
viewers (small local biz). Currently the home page is over 900K, mostly
due to 2 images (one a transitional .gif of over 500k). Seems
borderline for broadband and impossible for modem. No median, no
balance. -Bob
