How one techie ended up paying the tab on an Apple Macintosh Plus

Thumb Down

My example of a slow web page comes from a Cable Company back when 56K modems were still a thing people could buy.

The home page took several seconds to load on a high bandwidth connection. It consisted of 2 images of their nicely built cable back office server room, each being about 30MB worth. Click on the image, and it took you on to the actual site.

Could tell they had NEVER tried to open it from outside the internal network, but it did look nice.

Utterly unusable though.
