Just configure your browser to "no grahics" as the default.  You will be glad 
you did.   BTW.. a big misconception is that one needs a powerful computer to 
surf the net.  Not true.  There are many LYNX-friendly (text-mode) sites.  
And simply using "no graphics" as your primary setting, WWW hopping will be 
much more speedier.   IF and ONLY IF you reach the final site that interests 
you for the first time, *then* click on the "graphics refresh" to see the 
fancy stuff on the page.
