I was being a little sarcastic when I mentioned a SUNW server. That didn't get past me Derek. However SI has been slow for me lately as I'm sure it has been with many others, and as you point out the banner ads will increase the load on SI's servers which most likely will reduce the speed of our SI service. A reduction in speed will cause people to turn away...thus reducing the hit rate. Hit rate volume is what sells on the InterNet! It's no different than a radio or TV station...the more listeners or viewers...the more the ad space is worth. "But then I could go the Moonray way and dust off the ole 486 hemi and say to hell with Java! <GGG>" Try it for awhile! It's like switching to a dial/pulse phone from a push button/tone one. <GG>
