Your comments about broadband being ubiquitous are unfounded. Even
where broadband is claimed, plenty of people still struggle on with
around 1Mb/s. Using BT in the south east of England we only get 1.6
Mb/s and I don't appreciate sitting and waiting just so that exploding
blancmange can be projected onto my screen. Stick to ASCII for text
and keep the fancy stuff for when it's needed.
