To note, it loads pretty darned fast at about 04:15 EST. =)
On the other hand, when I clicked the link to get past it, Mozilla 0.7
locked hard, chewing up about 85% of my (brand new and disgustingly
overpowered) Athlon 1.1GHz processor. Most likely an issue with Mozilla,
but I won't be attempting that again.

Could be worse. Two weeks ago I had a consultant try to tell me that 20
users on a 56 kilobit frame relay host - and mind you, 56k frames are set
up with a 28k committed rate, and they BURST to 56k - was most
emphatically not a problem and would not overload the circuit. Thank the
higher powers that they had the server colo'd elsewhere. =)

Of course you did. What, you didn't think that they paid you to give
advice that they'd listen to, did you? No, you're on the payroll to clean
up the mess caused by them ignoring the advice in the first place. =)
