This page renders slowly on both IE and Netscape - everything

expect if the whole thing was wrapped in a table, yet there is no
table. What other sorts of problems normally cause this?
I think it is *because* you use no tables. The browser must wait until
it has all of the markup before knowing what to do. And there is a *lot*
of markup. (Opera and Mozilla also wait for everything before rendering.)
And the connection is very slow: 1 KB/sec. It takes a minute to
download the page contents.
Design note: Your choice of contrasting colors is poor. Charcoal gray
on black? Black on dark purple? Green on brick red? No one over 35 and not
sitting in the dark can read the text.
A problem with light color text on dark background is that the text
gets washed out by the background unless the text is a large font, or is
bold. This is especially true for CRTs.
