Oh, enough to ensure copious 'net lag for the next century.  Why cann't
USA Today and the rest of the non-geek rags leave the 'net alone.  It's
slow enough at the "useful" sites without the surfer dudes(and dudettes)
eating up bandwidth.  Not to mention, the clamor they're making over
push tech, super duper motion graphics, 3-D effects, gobs of pictures
"to make it easy to navigate", using the web to auto-upgrade all your
software.....   About the only thing that isn't grinding to a halt is
email.

Is it just me?  Wasn't the 'net quicker just a few years ago, before the
WWW and the graphics revolution took place?
