my browser (netscape 4.75, os 9.1) chokes on it a little to, turning off
java script and java (i've rarely seen a site that uses java as opposed
to java script) helps, i also have my firewall setup to block most of
the ad servers, which usually mandates turning off java script since
some of the sites go into an infinite loop trying to get the ads, or i
hit stop once it stalls and then the page displays.  i've had major
problems with the rest of their site, apparently they've got lots of
flash stuff and other silliness (on a 26k connection i really don't have
the time to wait for silly multimedia that adds little to the site). 
guess it's time to try icab again, i refuse to run internet explorer,
particularly considering the latest gigantic security hole in it (it
doesn't verify the validity of site certificates for secure sites,
hasn't for at least the past 6 years, it just accepts any old
certificate, sort of like a dead bolt that any key can open).  with
security holes that obvious and pathetic i hate to think what other bugs
it might have, security and otherwise.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor  do
the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is  no
safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a  daring
adventure, or nothing."
