Do people "pass by" plain-text sites?

[Library Internet Resources Co-ordinator]

At the GTU Library we have our public Internet station configured to load
graphics after the rest of the page so that patrons don't have to wait to
start using links.

I find it annoying when I try to connect to a page and have to wait for a
large graphic that I could care less about to load.

Our own library web pages are intentionally image weak to make them load
faster.

I hold that fast loading pages are viewer friendly pages and try to keep
what graphics we do have small (in 'k' that is).

On my personal pages I have very few graphics at all as I consider the
value of my pages to be the content not pictures. Plus I've been a little
lazy about getting permission to use the few images I do plan to eventually
ad to some of my pages.
