Let me preface this by saying I love Christians work, and am not disparaging the man in any way... his work is wonderful, and his website beautiful...
..... But
Everytime I visit his site, I end up having to shut my computer down to escape... everytime.
Two recent examples... Bloodwraith, I believe, posted a link to a saber in the Droolworthy thread... when i followed it, my browser kept opening tabs over and over in a loop.. several hundred were open by the time a said f@$k it and pulled the plug...
Today I followed a link to a picture of a tac leafy... while there I decided to check to see if any of those flared shoulder models Mike reviewed were in stock... and my processor started going nuts....finally my computer reported an operation error and closed my internet connection...
Anybody else encounter problems at Christian site... or does it just hate my computer?

Christian Fletcher's site always seems to me to take forever to load. Sometimes - well a couple of times - I have been tempted to close and go elsewhere. So yes, I have encountered this problem too. But the wait has always been worth it !! On another note - How about ShooterMike's cuttin' from the scabbard with a Type XVIII ?

I just went and checked it out. It's designed by someone using all the bells and whistles. If you're not on a broadband connection, you'll be forever while it tries to load up all the flash. It's lovely - but it limits your viewers and potential customers. K.I.S.S. I guess somebody's gettin' paid. / Part of my income is from graphics and design, and I use a 16MB connection... but I always consider the smaller screen and folks with dial-up and DSL when I design.

I visited today after Mike's awesome cutting, and it was fine for me. It is a nice site, I like it, I have high speed.
I did have problems with You Tube today though.

Don't understand about that computer stuff. But, I was lucky to find one of the better charcoal-fired compooters for sale down here. Kinda smokey at times though.

Fletcher's site and YouTube both work fine for me, but I can run 3 or 4 World of Warcraft's simultaneously without slowing my comp down, so...................

It runs ok on my computer, but my gf's computer doesn't handle it very well - too many bells and whistles I think.

... Anybody else encounter problems at Christian site... or does it just hate my computer? What Browser? What Computer? What OS? (semi-rhetorical...) I use the Opera browser, and it sails through the site with no problems. (And I'm running on Solaris at the moment) I highly recommend Opera (http://www.opera.com; it's even free now!) Just my $0.02's worth on the subject. -RDH
