[2004-12-02] as fast as PBase

Cadenet, France

In honor of Erich Mangl's as fast as pbase thread,

I dug out my only snail shot.

Don't ask me why they were climbing on a
rusty chainlink fence in the heat of midday!

BOYCOTT STYLE SHEETS UNTIL PBASE GETS FIXED!!

Canon PowerShot G2
1/318s f/4.0 at 21.0mm full exif

LOL! Wish I'd seen this thread during the "sloooooow" times.
Great shot!

Thanks, Stewart! I'll check it out.

Nice one. There is a workaround that involves altering your Host file - basically, it instructs your browser to ignore the CSS request, meaning that all pages open quickly and without CSS. Worth doing, because not many people are willing to disable their stylesheets, so you just do it for them! Details are in the forum.

Well, it is all relative - Yes it is slow right now, but until a year ago the only thing I had was a dial-up connection at 28 Kbps - Today I have a cable connection at 400 Mbps, so a delay of 15 seconds is still tolerable.
