"Every msnbc page"? There must be a million pages there. Ok. Today, <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/> loads in about 40 seconds. I see one (blocked) flash item. And there are TWO pop-under windows. One of those windows is empty and the other is filled with broken graphics icons (web server failed to provide the image). Safari's Activity window shows half a dozen graphics never loaded, on the main page. If I disable ClickToFlash, and reload that page, it never finishes loading. Looks like typical MS crapland to me. The page layout is rather poor. It's wider than my browser window - and widens more each time I enlarge the window. heh. Just noticed a section on that page called "Resource Guide". At first thought, I figured it was links to background information on the stories. Nope -- it's all advertising. LOL IMO, there are better places to get your news on the 'net. You don't need your news filtered thru MS goggles and craplets. NBC should be embarrassed.. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
