Ok, well.....I will play along.

And as an "advertising expert Derek," you already know that just because YOU think a design is nice and/or fully functional does not mean that is necessarily the best means of relaying the client’s message each and every time to promote maximum results for him or her.

Even in 1999 Derek,..... In a number that has been widely quoted, Nielsen reported that "if a web page takes longer than 7-8 seconds to download then a user is likely to lose interest". It is 8 years later and people are more impatient now than ever......especially with the growing Broadband population.
