I know, but like I said, if you have a "slow" device, then aren't you used to having to wait for things to render all the time? Why sacrifice user-friendliness for the vast majority of people out there for those few that have older, slower devices?

Don't get me wrong, I do understand the whole concept and motivation surrounding that -- I started doing web design in the mid-1990s, when MANY people were still on dial-up connections, with smaller monitors, etc. -- but at some point in the development of things there has to be a tipping point where you stop going to such extremes to appease those few (and increasingly fewer) people with comparatively "ancient" machines/devices.

Ha ha -- I don't have a cat, so that's not really additional motivation for me (never mind I can't afford it), but I can certainly see that they do have other practical uses, when they're not being used for testing.
