Dear Ben

You're welcome!

It was the initial loading, took about two minutes, and your 'portfolio'
link, took just over a minute. In retrospect, methinks I was being a wee bit
impatient, seeing as though it is a Flash site (and I guess I didn't
appreciate the overall concept of that). Sorry ;-)

Tracey
PS Had great fun with the 'experimental' links/pop-ups!
PPS Have (already) given up with FrontPage - hmm, was I saying something
about me being impatient?! - and am now looking at getting started on
PhotoImpact and Webshop Designer 2000, both freebies from PC mags last year.
