This can happen for many reasons and it is not due to the site. If you
have a slow modem or if you were connected at a slow speed, then any
site will be slow if the size of the site is 30K-50K. To improve the
speed of any site, turn off the auto image load on your browser. Please
find it on your browser and give it a try. Sometimes bouncing to
several sites will make it work. The site is designed for a quick load
and it is designed under the 50 k limit as a standard homepage design.
If you even have a 56K, 33K, 28K modem you can still be connected to
your ISP at 9K 12K or 14.4K due to the traffic at your ISP. This is a
norm for most ISPs unless you have a T1 or a T3 line.
If you think you browser is really fast and nothing is wrong with it,
then I challenge you to do a test with this browser. "Opera"..Opera
provides a browser for the PC and soon for the MAC's...sorry unix based
machines. It provides what the customer wants and it really kicks Ass.
Sorry for the words....but it really does. It is very quick in loading
a page.

This is a good site to visit for shade loving plants.

I did visit the site, and it looks promising. However, it took
way too
long for stuff to be transmitted, and my patience ran out before I got
very far. May send for the catalog, though. Beth
