I agree. But what scared me was my friend's dial up machine. Most of my pages rely on graphics, but on his machine on dial up he saw nothing at all (apart from some scattered text) for 2 or 3 seconds. 2 or 3 second is an eternity for a web user who is not already interested. Anything is better than nothing.

On the other hand, I decided long ago to only target broadband users, so what do I care what my cheapskate friend thinks?
