Loading http://www.hotmail.com/ with IE3:

The only configuration I have changed from the default is to add in access
via the proxy server. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad if I was on a PRI
line - 43 connections, one per channel... mmm :) But this is a dialup
33.6K PPP link.

Thankfully Netscape has a much higher quality browser that doesn't do this
kind of stupidity.
