The Internet In Slow Motion

My high speed cable modem Internet access has definitely spoiled me...

I had forgotten how painful a slow dial-up connection is.

My current 24k connection has served as a reference to remind me of just what a blessing high speed access is.

It has also reminded me of the impact of lots of graphics on a web (like this one) page.

Now granted, most folks accessing this site should be connecting at more like 48k, but, I wonder... do I need to remove some of the "fluff" to make the page loads faster for those who have slow connections?

It has also confirmed that should I loose my job, I will forgo food before I give up my cable modem ;-)

Check out Sloppy, "the slow proxy" at http://www.dallaway.com/sloppy/ Then you will really know how dial-up people see your site.
