Same here.  Problem is, this is too easy to accomplish with Netscape
Communicator.  (Don't know about IE.)

If you want dramatically faster loading times, both on Macs and PCs, use
<pre> formatted text lines laid out in tabular fashion.

Perl can print this just as easily as a <table>.  One drawback is that
making something bold changes, and possibly ruins, the text size and
spacing.  But you can still highlight lines by giving them yellow or
other-colored backgrounds.

If you get tired of slow-loading tables, give it a try.  Sometimes crude
technology works better.
