Not everyone has broadband. Nor does everyone have multi-Ghtz PCs. This site is designed to minimize load time and run fast. With the exception of a few MPG files, every page, every picture, should load in 15 seconds or less at 28k bps (bits per second).

I'm on dial-up so I take site optimization and page load speeds very seriously. Because of that I doubt that you will ever see anything fancy like flash, maybe some Java script, but no buttons or tabs that will require image files, no cool backgrounds, no text that floats, no fancy border scrolls, etc., etc.. For the most part if classic HTML can’t get the job done I’m not going to do it. Don’t expect to see anything slick here. But I do hope you visit occasionally and check out the (mostly travel) pictures.

If you have thoughts you want to share about this site or just want to contact me about whatever, please email me.

Bill
