Um...
  I gotta disagree with that...
  First off, I am running a 28.8 modem on a P200 system.  I do not suffer
from slow loading on most web pages.
  However, I *STILL* prefer to see a nice minimalist page such as the one
these folks have put together.  I prefer content over form, always have,
always will.  I would rather see a gaming book that is all text and nicely
done, than any number of pictures, diagrams, and maps with poorly or just
barely passable text.
  One of my biggest pet peeves witht he web is that it seems aimed towards
the MTV crowd (Being in the same age range, I resent the 'MTV Generation'
label) and stresses graphics, music and Form/Table/Frame tricks over
information.
  What really surprises me is that Gamers are supposed to be info junkies.
 That is what so many of our games are about...having enough info to
suspend disbelief and emmerse ourselves in the RPG or Simulation that we
are playing.
