Re: FLASH: Handy LoadTime Reaction Chart

[Mary Brzys]

Hi Scott,


It's slow at times for everyone, and I mean everyone, it doesn't

matter how fast your modem is! It's like be real patient, maybe leave

and run errands and come back and wala watch the whole site run, or

and this is my favorite, stay up till 4 in the morning and go on the

web. It's amazing how fast all those pages load, and download times

are unbelievable!
