I to have ben associated with computers since the mid 70's and we always code - clean, lean and fast. Not to long ago we had a 1.5 Mbps connection and things seemed to load pretty fast. A few years later - our cable link provides 90 Mbps. You would think it was a bit faster right? Truth is I find the majority of pages I visit now take longer. The worst are the ones whereby you start to scroll down to a point then an add up the top reses and viola your bumped back up tot the top! If I choose a site to go too and seems like it is going to be burdensome now a just back out quickly. So what's the point of packing a site with ads if people stop visiting? Bottom line is will get worse because it $$$$$</p>
