This has to be the most images on a single page that I've ever observed for a website. My internet explorer registered more than 2800 separate images that needed to be downloaded.

If a website crashes on the Internet and no one is there to view it, did it really exist at all?

This computer didn't even know where to start, I had to shut it down with the task manager.

Admittedly, my 3.2 Ghz PC on broadband made short work of the page, but I can imagine that a slower computer with dial-up would just keep loading, and loading, and loading, and loading.......

and loading......

My cpu fan kicked up to maximum while the page was loading. And by the time it was done, IE was using 200 megs of ram.
