I have had load probelms in the past with my geocities website. It didnt matter if it was from firefox or explorer. For me being on dialup I found when I do build a website it has a long load time. Since I can't check broadband, cable, dedicated line, hwo do I check it? or do I just ask someone to check it who ad faster ability?

Does anyone know anything about Google's new web browser they just launched, Google Crome. I just heard about it the other day so I don't know much about it myself.
