What he said.  I have an ISDN and I *still* get frustrated when I'm
'surfing' for information and have to wait for some graphic at the
top of the home page that is often times >20K.
 
I seem to remember David's session on web page design about making
your home page as small as possible.  This allows someone to get to
the page quickly and then decide whether their at the correct home
page.  Once I connected to a home page which turned out to be the
wrong company.  Unfortunately, the top of the screen display (that's
visable from Netscape 2.02) didn't have enough information for me
to decide if it was the correct page.  It was >60K and once I paged
down I realized it was the wrong company.
