The site is currently in beta and the entire reason we started this thread
was to learn ways to make the page loading more convenient, so we don't
really understand your comments that we do not want answers.
Obviously we do not want answers that say 'don't build this web page' or
'don't make it this way'. That is just negative. We are still refining the
page loading to speed it up a lot.
But we don't accept that waiting a minute for a page to load would be
quicker for people than getting in the car and driving into town, parking,
maybe getting out the umbrella, pushing through crowds, carrying heavy bags,
etc. We hope you appreciate our point. But we agree, we need to make the
page loading better and more acceptable to the user, which is the entire
reason for our question.
Vincent and Brian gave us very nice answers to the actual question, which we
are currently researching. Sorry to disappoint you about this Luigi fellow!

You have speakers on the library computer? Strange thing to do. But yes,
obviously we considered many factors which is why we made it 25% as quiet as
normal sounds, and put a clear 'sound off' speaker button right there on the
page.

Thanks for your feedback. Again, the subject of this thread should make it
clear to you we agree. This site is pre-launch and we are here to refine
that. It is great that Brian and Vincent were willing to help us with
answers.
