You had a 33.6 Modem prob only connected at 15bbs
I went to the same page you put down and it loaded Quick Looked very professional and i was on using a 56b modem.
I would say upgrade your modem before you start bashing peoples pages because you have a crappy modem
I'd say learn some manors and proper grammar before you start typing
again.

loaded,I have a 33.6, and it took almost 10 minutes to get the main page
and I couldn't go any further on my browser until the graphic was completed.
haveYou say your site is very professional compared against less name brands (acknowleging such perrenial favourites are AHS and others), yet you
ano text links at the bottom of the page to permit those with graphics turned off or those with slower modem links (some people can't even get
on28.8 connection on their 56k modems with reliable regularity) to click
professionalthose text links while the main graphic is loading. The most
fastest.sites offer this option, as the text body of html loads first and
notI posted my complaint because I DID visit your site, and I was unimpressed, and I wanted to share my disappointment. I am known in the newsgroup for being fairly accurate, and there are those here who know that I don't tend to just post stuff to slam without cause. I also do
nohave a web site of my own for any purpose. If you want to get very technical, I do have a web site, but it houses a handful of pics that I then use for eBay selling purposes, and there is no text or info or hyperlinks of any form. This said, I want to make it clear that I have
competitive motivation to put down your site to bolster mine.
excessiveAnd to boot, 10 minutes to get to the main page of a web site is
believeto say the least. If all your pages are graphicly over-intensive like your first three pages, 10 minutes is not enough to get anywhere in your web site, and nothing in the first three pages gives me reason to
the rest of your pages are any faster to load.

Uh.... I think an (for example) 830k file instead of HTML is an abuse of the 'net!
Using a single large image for your page design
a) Makes visits from people with text-only browsers impossible
b) Makes it impossible to cut/paste sections of text.
c) Mandates people use a screen resolution (width) YOU can handle.
What about people with smaller/larger screens? This is the whole POINT of realtime formatting/HTML. You let the browser adapt the page to the viewer. Single images for the entire screen, with fixed widths like this are... pretty silly.
Um....one more thing.... "Pam is one big sexxxy bitch!" is a pretty stupid description of a game machine, too. I presume your target audience includes no women.
Frankly, I think you're entirely missing the point, with your site. I visited three pages, and had enough. I wouldn't care if you had the holy grail buried a few more pages deep... the site is just too painful to
visit.
However, not to be ALL negative... I think your idea/concept is fine, and I won't bitch about your prices. I just think you need a TOTAL rethink about how you present things (as large images), and then it'll be OK. This site
is just about the worst abuse of net-savvy design I've ever seen!
