This new site format seems to be three or four times slower on my computer. I don't have the fastest computer but with the old one windows always came up in a second or two. Now it's taking an unusually long time. Anyone else find this to be the case?

I'm finding it somewhat annoying to see the same freakin' banner with Dave's portrait while having to scroll down each and every time I have to read different pages.

It takes a while to load because that idiotic banner has to load. Really, what a stupid idea.

*beep* yeah!

On my Mac at home, it's not so bad because I can just use a new tab for a new page, but the whole one page at a time (on my office computer) in IE blows. It takes me at least 5 times longer to read and post. I can only imagine what a nightmare it would be had we not upgraded from 98 to XP over the summer.

Well it is Dave's site

But the banner does make this mighty awkward.

Looks like it has changed back to the old design.

Much quicker today for me - seems to be back to the speed it was before the change. Maybe they ironed out some kinks...
