Re: Hell and No
said by techwench  :I hate heavy start pages. I like my browser to start up and not have to wait 60 seconds for a page (which I'm probably not going to look at anyway) tick and load and tick and...still waiting. I used to use my.yahoo.com, but since they "revamped" (read: bloated) it, I quit using it, and now just have my homepage set to the yahoo mail login screen. I couldn't agree more. The Comcast portal is moving towards an entirely flash-driven layout which takes decades to re-render on my older Pentium III 533.
Granted, I don't use such old computers (usually they just accumulate dust around here), but for the majority of people who are more than 2 upgrade cycles behind, it'll be slower than grandma on a cold day.
To each his own. Some people can't do without these portals.
Mine is about:blank.
