I do have cable, but most people don't. I would guess that world wide
less than 1% of web users are on cable, so a 4 Meg web page isn't very
practical.  In general, a web page should download in less than 15
seconds on a modem - faster if it's the index page.

It's a pity, because there seems to be some useful material there.
