Basically, the 28k download works fine ... the "loading progress bar" comes

up, then about 5-10 seconds later music and an animation comes up to

entertain you. It takes about 1 minute and a half to 'preload' with 28k.

About 40-50 seconds on 56k and about 10-15 seconds on Cable. I basically

asked this question because some people on the list said they wouldn't check

out a site because it was too big ... something like 500k. Maybe because

there was no preload animation.
