Firefox 2.0.0.9, JavaScript on:
"Please be patient while we teleport you there
(around 15 secs via fast broadband ...so a bit quicker than driving!)"
Still waiting, ten minutes later (on a 10Mbps connection), for whatever
that "progress bar" is supposed to represent.
Why does this page have an ugly purple background? (Think about that.)

There's nothing wrong with my "system(s)".
You've posted your site in the past, and as I recall, each time someone
told you of problems, not the least of which was load times.
Oh, and why did you interrupt my jazz CD with something that sounds like
waves on a beach? What's that got to do with George Street?
