Cute page.

All it needs now is one of those (This site best viewed with Netscape Navigator) icons or my favorite, the icons that used to rotate between (Site Served By IIS)/(Best viewed in DIMENSION)/(Something about usage of ActiveX tech).

I'm curious if the site is actually that slow, or if they deliberately throttled it for verisimilitude. Fun stuff, either way.

It appears to be deliberate, since these are just small static files and the rest of the site is still fast. I find it incredibly annoying.

And I assume there'd be some sort of web ring involved as well?
