I find it pretty darn slow too - both from my work connection or from
home (two different ISP's). Mind you, the entire internet seems to be
grinding to a halt these days! ("Information Superhighway" indeed! :)

heh heh, sounds familiar! It wouldn't be so bad if it only did it when
you first hit the main page from another site or a new browser
connection, but the fact that it's every time you go back to the main
page is really annoying...

tripod could be worse though; at least their pop-out windows don't
contain a huge amount of graphics, so you can close the window almost as
soon as it pops up.

I came across one site once that used external windows that you couldn't
close until you killed the browser session - very nice! :-(


cheers
