Warning: Although these pages take about 20 seconds to load on my p166/linux,

files in one neat directory :)

| The answer is very simple: Embedded tables. Netscape is horrible about nesting tables. Every time you put a table within another table, it adds download time to any browser. Netscape is really really slow about this, Explorer is much faster. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
