Sorry can't help, as I have no banner to get rid of.
5 secs ..... obviously you were not around in the early days of internet dial-up
Oh yes, I remember those days. If you were going to view a page with photos, you'd start loading the page and then go have a shower, or go shopping or something. By the time you got back, they might be nearly loaded.
I was one of the early users of Napster (illegal file sharing program for those too you to know......only at that point, I didn't know it was illegal). The first song I ever downloaded was Dire Straits, Going home. It was a 5mb files (so pretty carp quality). It took over 6 hours to download!
I had a 2.1GB hard drive, with 64 meg of RAM and a 33.6K modem. I was the flavour of the street because most others that owned a PC had less than a GIG HDD, 16MB of RAM and a 28.8K modem.
I always hated when you were 3/4 of the way downloading something, and the darned phone would ring! That was the end of that download LOL! I remember when I finally went broadband (it was 2002). The phone rang and I was still connected! That blew me away.
