Okay Steve, I'll play Devil's Advocate for starters...

I am glad to see that you've landed on your feet after the deal with Interchange.

At 14,400 on a 486dx2/66 it took me 2:26 to complete the download of your page, with 
the (paid?) ads resolving last. On the same computer the Pioneer Press site finished 
the download in :48 and we too have an animation on the front page. Scoff if you must 
at how trivial a technical detail, but I'm impatient by nature. And I think OURS loads 
much to slowly...

Pull your clock function up and compare for yourself:

I'll let others hand over some praise...
