| | I did find this interesting in that I feel I'm a pretty typical "viewer"
| | when surfing.  And, I guess, I'm rather impatient because I'll usually
| skip
| | Flash unless it's something that I'm particularly interested in or I'll
| move
| | right on out of the site if it's taking too long to download.  I do
enjoy
| | seeing sites that are visually interesting but when I'm looking for info
I
| | want to be able to get right to the "heart" or "meat" of the matter :) .
| I
| | just find my life is too busy to spend too much time waiting for stuff
to
| | download, particuarly if it is not relevant to what I need to know.
Worst
| | of all, I'm have cable access - just think what I would be like with a
56K
| | or less modem.  :)
