I learned tonight from Nicholas Carr, author of "Is Google
Making Us Stupid?", that the average time people look at
a web page--ANY web page--is about 10 seconds. I wish I had
known that 15 years ago. I would have saved my self a LOT
of effort. :-(

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say this lecture tonight explained a LOT!
