Yeah, it was intended to reside on a local server, and locally it loads in
3 or 4 secs. But I think even that's too long. This was my first HTML job
of any kind (on-the-job training), and the client didn't know much more about
HTML than I did, so now--with a year's perspective--there's some things I'd
do differently. And the biggest thing I'd want to do is break it up into
more manageable pieces--keeping each piece down to no more than, say, 30 to 40K.
