I totally get that -- I live, so to speak, "back in the woods" and my alleged 10 Mbps internet connection seldom comes in even 1/5 of that.
So it takes a while to load, and then they're hard to read, sometimes have to crank up the "zoom" to over 150% to get a clear image.
On the other hand, it's pretty astonishing how often you'll find today's debates addressed & illuminated by reports & analysis from the time, and that's real history, not just long-after-the-fact navel gazing.
10 Mbps? Way faster than mine. I use a wireless internet that i've had for nearly 20 years, and I think it can go as high as 300 Kbps, but is only guaranteed to do 120 Kbps.
It does what I need, and i've had it for a long time. I use an old machine too. I'm still running XP, but it's getting harder because they keep making it difficult to use an old machine on the internet.

I enjoy reading them, but it's just too much trouble waiting for them to load.
