This is paramount.  Web stats and surveys show that while many folks
have broadband, the majority do not.  Add to that that most rural areas
are on dialup or have shared slow service and it is clear than bandwidth
hog websites might be pretty, but they quickly cut off most of their
intended market.  We'll be going for easily maneuvered content
primarily.  We'll make other stuff available for folks who have
broadband and those who don't mind waiting, bu there will definately be
no splash pages, few java applications, no animations, etc.
Additionally, it should work a simply as possible due to software issues
as well.  While many of us do have newer software packages (me
included), many of us do not like the resource hogs newer software
versions have become (me included) and for no real good reason.  I'm not
a person who favors bells and whistles when they don't make sense and
detract from site usability.


Barry is right on.
