Andy, I'm replying here rather then privately, because that's where 
retractions should be.

As I said, I had been put off the Linux Format website by the extremely slow 
load-times - often 20-30 seconds - so I haven't been there for ages, though 
I'm surprised it is as long as 18 months.

I have just tried it from FireFox and Konqueror, both on an FC6 system and an 
FC4 system, and got excellent load times.  A very great improvement, thanks.

I hope I haven't put anyone off using the site by quoting an out-of-date 
problem, no longer existing.

Anne
