no need to get a Mac: I'm on pc, Opera 5.12 on WIN98 and I can't get 
to the site. First a grey screen, 30 second pause, then turns white 
and starts an endless reloading cycle: after two minutes it keeps 
loading and requesting and loading and requesting and I haven't seen 
anything but a white page, going back and forth from 
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/browser.html
to
http://www.argos.co.uk/argos/home.html?URI=http://www.argos.co.uk/stat
ic/browser.html

A case study for Jakob Nielsen?
