Only ignorant ones from someone who doesn't understand the technicalities :-( This is with RISC OS 5.14 and NetSurf r9677 and broadband. The BBC sites in general seem to be getting more and more bloated. The BBC front page, which I have as my home page, with its 100+ images (really needed?) takes 25 seconds or so to load, and I can no longer edit it significantly. It takes quite a time to load in Windows Firefox, too, though I haven't timed it. I've given up on the BBC weather sites, for just the reason that Gerald mentions. The Metcheck sites (try http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=GL52%203DS for instance) seem to work better, though this had just taken 35 seconds to load, but hasn't made huge inroads into memory. I suspect this is all the fault of the BBC web-people, but I wonder what the experts have to say? With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter, \ / zfc Yb \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
