"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..
