We have a T1 but as cold as it is it seems a tad slow. You might try runing it through Dr HTML for a more in depth report. It indicated 30+ seconds to load among other things (like ALT tags). _____________________________ Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said, "I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them"?

Did you record for them or did they provide you with it. I'm going to do the audio thing on one of the sites I do (political site) Server may not be big enough. LOL This reminds me of an instructor I had once. http://www.colin.mackenzie.org/webdesign/avoid.html ps: I like listening to your client better. < Message edited by mar0364 -- 1/16/2004 16:26:05 > (in reply to Eli)

I'll put it on when I am working on homework. Hey, love the voice of the guy speaking! What a super cool accent this client of yours has! Nice site and wonderful colors. You have done an excellent job on this one, plus it loads super quick for me. < Message edited by c1sissy -- 1/17/2004 9:04:07 > _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.
