You'll be happy to know that the homepage of Facebook (the over-valued poster boy of Web 2.0 mania) has 38 items from two servers, and the login page has 71 items, mostly Javascript. The kicker is that there are two login pages, both posting to the same form, but one doesn't include 69 of these files: https://login.facebook.com/login.php http://www.facebook.com/login.php And yes, I do click on adverts, possibly on the rate of about 1 per month where they are related to the website I'm on. -- Stephen Cope - http://sdc.org.nz/ -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
