You must really get cranky when you're surfing **** sites.

He's right. Hell, this site loads poorly with hi speed internet.
I can't imagine what it would be like on dial up

Dial-up is worthless nowdays. Most sites won't load on that slow of a connection. You could always surf the site at the Library.

A LOT of people do not have access to hi speed net.
Heck, there's a huge area 15 mins from here that still doesn't have cable TV.
Some people have no choice, gentlemen

for those of you that get slow loads here, what browser are you using? (assuming you aren't on dial up of course).

I switched to Firefox and there is a significant improvement since doing so... not only here, but everywhere. This site was always a slow load for me with IE, now it is almost instant.

You can't beat free AND fast

p.s. oh yeah, and for those of you that don't have any choice but dial up, chances are your PDA gets a faster internet connection.. just a thought (though the booby pictures might be a little disappointing on that screen size)
