    I was just wondering how many of us have cable modems or dial-up? because of our website, we need to know if the size of the files are in issue<--(dial-up users) or not<--(cable users). what i was also thinking is if it is an issue we have "two" sites in one: one site for dial-up and one for cable. both would have the same content, just different file sizes. kind of like if you go to starwars.com and watch the videos, u can choose what size you are watching(eg. small<--dialup, medium<--dsl, large<--cable). just let me know, and if there is any comments on the dual websites. thx

    Made from spare parts, My computer was. I don't think it has enough power to warm a tauntan for a few hours (unless you blow it up, that is). Dial-up for me, please.

    Feel your pain, I do, zpac. My computer quacks like a duck and would give Frankenstein a fright.

    I think it's not necessarily an issue of just the member's access, but as well for any prospective member. There are also ways to make a page nice and full of eye candy and fun stuff and make it look nice, without draining the bandwith and the download time of the person looking at it.
