You know, back in high school when I was learning HTML + JavaScript, I was really looking forward to creating websites that took "longer" to load[1]. Because I have associated that with complexity (understandable), and I associate complexity with coding professionally.
Now that I _am_ coding professionally, I just wish websites would load simple as this, with interfaces as simple as this. None of that fancy image preloading, or disappearing/reappearing navbars, or those sidebars that scrolled independently from the main page content.
Then again, what memories are those which time will not sweeten, right?
[1] Caveat: with the dial-up connections then, all it took were enough images for a site to load slow. So I wanted mine to take "longer"!
There was an obsession for a while with advanced Flash websites to design interfaces that extensive and complication transitions and loading screens. Best example being "2advanced".
