This thread has mentioned images off several times now I think. I
personally haven't turned images off since the days of Netscape 1.2 (if
ever). Regardless of my connection type or the amount of graphics on the
page. If the graphics were too much or too slow, I split. But I never
thought "Oh, I will go through some machinations an hoop jumping to try
this site another way".

I also can not remember ever see anyone one else ever turn images off, at
least in the last 3 years. Does anyone have any information, current or
otherwise, about who turns images of when, for how long, and why? Is it
true that people do that?
