Ditto on the Dial-up thing. There is no way I can get anything BUT dial-up where I am, and to make matters worse, the phone lines deliver about 27,000 to my 56K modem. A lot of the "kiddie" hightech websites are out of range for people like me, (not that I care), but I'd hate to be shut out of FR because the high-techies have taken over, with every bell and whistle they can put in.......sigh

A couple of the newspaper sites I visit have a "Printer Friendly Format" that essentially shuts off all banners, waving .gif's and sidebars and allows a plain, old vanilla format for stories you want to print. That's what's needed here for our news page. It needs to be in "User settings" so on subsequent visits it loads up fast and efficiently.
