Dialup. 5min/mb for downloads. Including loading flash, only that's sometimes slower 'cos apparently it often runs through weird filtering software on one end or the other.
128kb tiny flash movie? 30+ seconds of load time. Lots of little flash buttons? Would freeze entirely, except I browse with Firefox using Flashblock; I get little circles-with-arrows instead of flash content until I click on each one to let it start loading.
Site with a cluster of little button-windows? I have to be convinced it's worth my time to click on them. If those little windows aren't hiding pics of Captain Jack Sparrow in bed with someone interesting, they're probably not worth my time.
Doesn't load; is there a typo somewhere? (It's possible that somehow the site is blocked at work, but I don't think so.) AH! it's at http://www.theezreader.com/html/
Hrrm. Let your site design/marketing people know it'd probably be a good idea to choose a sample text that's not riddled with hard returns; when every other line is short, it looks weird, and most viewers won't realize that's a problem with the (presumably Gutenberg) source file, not the device. |
Dear Elfwreck:
No problem with
www.theEZreader.com/html That is getting me there. Sorry.
