Ever tried to open a WWW page with all this kewl stuff when you're using a
14.4 kps modem?  Ever looked at a kewl page with a 9600 baud modem and a
text-only browser?  I'd like to see more emphasis placed on ease-of-navigation
and some real content isntead of bzillions of QuickTime videos that take
10 minutes to load.  Gack!
