Making the user choose is the wisest option. As a user, just because I have a fast connection, it doesn't necessarily mean I would want the 'bloated' version of the website. And conversely, if I had a slow connection I /might/ want to wait 15 mins for the 'enhanced' version to download. Don't decide for the user what the user can decide for themselves :) -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for that rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge. -- Erwin Knoll */
