Personal I do not understand the reason for a "spash" screen. Why do I
want to load a page that does nothing but say click here?

I inserted the "flash screen" ahead of the REAL start-up page, precisely
because 70% of users are still using dial-up connections.

My old homepage took (according to Frontpage's estimate) over two MINUTES to
load on a 28.8 modem! The new "flash screen" gets people into the site
almost instantly, so at least they know it's not a broken link. Hopefully
they will then stick around while the more graphic-intensive pages load.
