Exactly!
Until 4-5 years ago almost all sponsor sites
were simple, and I never had any problems getting what I wanted! And then some hype started making them more script driven, adding Flash and whatelse, and poor souls on modem couldn't use them at all anymore!
Almost the entire time I'd been overseas with my old notebook (only runs Win ME, and with 128 Mb of ram no way I update to XP! *) and dial-up modem access I simply could not get into the majority of sponsor sites! They either crashed the system or stalled during download. So for about 10 weeks I'd been almost without any new information, updated stats, and all the other stuff you want to get.
*)
and no: I'm not thinking about upgrading any time soon: here at home I might use it a few times to build galleries and pages, some thing it does rather well, and once a year (or maybe twice) I take it travelling - so the next time I would be going o/s there's sure to be something better out again - for half the price! Most of the time it's spending in its bag on the shelf...
