We Know How to Make Clickable Images and Cool Guy Graphics Too

Every graphic artist who gets hold of a web page wants to prove how cool they are by putting clickable images and cool guy graphics everywhere. Well, the May 22, 1995, issue of Interactive Age backed up our position that smaller is better. They said that one of the biggest gripes Internet users have is the time large GIF image files take to load. Clickable images are also cool, but they're problematic because of image size. We just want you to know we know how to do all the cool stuff so if you've got the time (or a T-1 connection), we've got the graphics.
