@hammerslaneJan 13.2004 — get rid of the slide show?

does it serve an actual purpose, other than a querky feature?

it took me about 20 seconds to pre-load all the images, and i'm on a megabit connection.

the rest of the site would load like that *snaps fingers* if there weren't all these images...[code=php]Pic[0]='http://www.jaahg.com/pictures/e002sm.jpg'

there's not really a way to make the images load faster, as they appear to be very small already, it's just the sheer volume of them (172) that's being sluggish.

all your background images seem to be nice and small, and the title/button images are tiny also.

just consider whether you really need the slideshow really! maybe it could go on a seperate 'slideshow page'...

@estheraauthorJan 13.2004 — they really like the slideshow and want to keep it in.

Is their anyway to change the javascript to have the images from the slideshow only come up after the page has already loaded.
