All machines we have tested it on (over 20 including Safari, Opera, and the
slowest broadband) were very capable and the street worked without issue.
But we agree and want to make it faster, hence the subject of this thread.

The site is only designed for broadband PCs (not PDAs etc.) and we are very
realistic about that.

An interesting idea but when we evaluated this, the time taken to download
and install it was far greater than the time taken to load it up in a web
page.

Sorry to have confused you, I am not saying my Dad liked it, I was
responding to the snipped text where the user said he would need an
afternoon to understand how to use the street. Our response was that a
75-year old gentleman learned how to use it in about 10 seconds.
Anyway, we are not here to disagree, if you take a look at the subject of
this thread you will see you are telling us mainly things that are exactly
why we started this thread, and we are pleased Brian and Vincent have
offered very constructive solutions.
