Then the refresh of the page in the frame would be done with something like,
say, javascript then. There are a number of ways I can offhandedly think of
to do this, each of which would just sit there eating up my bandwidth,
especially if it is every 5 seconds, not even considering the flashing that
would go on as the page is "refreshed" and repainted. I would be long gone.
