>From this I must infer that about 90 percent of the pages you view are
useless and have clueless authors. Right? Otherwise, it would seem
that the time to switch browsers, etc, would eat up the time you save
by using the quick browser. I can understand how not loading images
and sounds saves time, but the tables, colors, and so forth are embedded
in the HTML and still get sent to you, so why not use them?
Just curious, not trying to change your habits....
