     It does seem that web sites are tending to become more glamorous at 
the cost of increasing the time required for obtaining useful 
information. (Just recently, a poster who wants to surf the net was 
concerned about upgrading a 166MHz Pentium!)

     Many users would be happy to blow off the pictures, animation, and 
stereo sound in return for slicing the time it takes to get to the stuff 
they're looking for.
