My opinion.

Hi-Res internet, with it's Flash animations, zillion images, tons of 
JavaScript.... usualy leadts to a bloated webpage with no content at all. 
Practicaly all made by former magazine publishers, editors and composers (?) 
, that pretend to get into the web a glossy magazine (think Rolling Stone)... 
without paying attention that Internet is a different media.

Unless I want to test the performance of the latest Mozilla or Konqueror web 
browsers, I tend to avoid those pages.

On the other hand, low-res pages, with tons of content, fast to load, easily 
viewed even with Links text-based web browser, are the best.  

For example, I made my webpage with this low-res mentality in mind. 
Useability 
and Information are the top priorities. And it pays: over 33.6K lines you can 
see the page load fairly fast. In Links, my webpage looks pretty good.

And, of course, low-res pages tend to be W3C compliant. And I like this fact.


Salut,
Josep
