Editor's Note

In today's world, speed is of the essence, and when people are surfing the internet they have very little patience. Having a web page that loads slowly is just bad business. Most potential customers will not wait too long for your page to finish downloading. The key is
to follow one simple rule "Keep it Simple". Most of us want to show the world we can keep up with the technology of today's Web, and seem to forget that there are a lot of people out there that still only use a 28.8K connection speed. What can we do? The only answer is to utilize compression software to make your graphics as small as possible. In today's NetDummy, I have tried to put together a listing of some of the software that can help you to compress your images and have a faster loading time and minimize those dreaded clickaways.

We hope that you find this newsletter interesting and useful.

A Bad Slice

A fellow was out golfing when he made an unfortunate hook shot that landed in a bed a flowers planted along the edge of the fairway. Gingerly tip-toeing his way through the flowers to retreive his ball, he bent down to pick it up. Feeling the presence of someone else, he slowly turned around to see Mother Nature standing behind him. Smiling, She said "I couldn't help but notice how careful you are to retreive your golfball without injuring my buttercups - my precious little buttercups. I want to reward you - I'll give you
all the butter you could want for the next year." The golfer looked at Her and without hesitation, said "And where the hell were you when I sliced it into the pussywillows ?!!
