Well Hanno:

Normally, that would work as our time zones are so different but sadly, I am a nocturnal animal and am usually on the web at around 0100 and again at 0400 due to my aging kidneys/bladder and prostate gland, I guess. As long as I am up, I usually surf the web. So, I am there at the same times as you Dutchies.
My typing I do as soon as I get back from the store as I am still running on the last of my stored adrenalin.

Anyhow, to the site question. Up until very recently I had thought that if I just had a faster processor and DSL connection that I could download and upload things lightning fast.
I am only just now learning that there are different levels of web sites in terms of performance as regards accessing and downloading stuff from them. While DSL and a fast processor help, it seems if the site is itself not designed for speed you will still sit forever waiting for something to appear or load or whatever. Of course it is also true, not that I am an expert, that some websites are designed by people who would be better off geting into another line of work. I have two employees who "design" websites as a side job. One does a pretty good job but the other designs garbage in my opinion. His sites are almost impossible to understand and navigate and are primarily graphics oriented.

So, it is now 15 days till Christmas and I am hopping 7 days a week at the store and can only pop in now and again. Please keep the links/pics coming as it is dead easy to grab a pic or save a website for the better days for me that come in January when I try to take a week or so holiday at the house and spend most of my time on the computer getting caught up from the Thanksgiving to Christmas selling season.
Cheers
Bill
