OK, Ken..... Which of your books would be money best spent? ;-) I
probably should have defined my objectives a little better. My wife's
web site uses things like embedded .wav's (this ugliness is not up for
discussion at this point ;-( . The files are large, and this causes the
pages to take a long time to download for people with slow connections
(dial-up, etc.). So, what I want to do is to make it faster. I am not
devoted to any one method, but I would like the method that provides the
greates speed enhancement. I'm not overly concerned about wasting
cycles, since this is not a big site or anything. I just feel bad for
those less fortunate than I who have to use an analog modem ;-)
