I have a cable modem, everything loads in an eyeblink until I try to open an individual thread, and the more replies in it, the longer it takes. No big deal, I just have a separate window with either Free Cell or Minesweeper and play that while I'm waiting.

The threads usually open long before I blow up on Minesweeper. When the page loads, I usually hit a mine on purpose and read the page.

I'm only half serious, guys. Just that I got spoiled by this cable. The page still takes less time to load than it did when I had dial-up.

My work terminal has the world's worst DSL hooke-up, but there it's the fault of the guy that set up our system, EVERY site loads like molasses.
