Just for a laugh, I clicked on the above link. I then took the extra
'n' out and made it to www.designfreedom.com. "Lots of large images,"
I thought, "I wonder how large the page is?"

"The size of this web page (1097159 bytes) has exceeded the maximum
size of 1000000 bytes.":

Design Freedom indeed. Just not *that* much freedom - it was slow on
my broadband connection :eek:

Pete - I'm not picking on your site, honest! I just think it
illustrates the point that keeping page sizes low is still a good idea
even in a post-dialup world.

Cheers,

Tim
