It is a bit difficult to explain the reason(s)
why IE and Opera did so poorly. As for Netscape, which had an impressive download
time, we can presume that the reason for the low time is that it was the first browser to
view the page, which was viewed two times.

The connection test was done on a 56k Winmodem connected at 32k bps. Remember
download times will vary depending on your modem speed, browser, server of the page,
telephone line activity, and your internet service provide (ISP). This will not
guarantee that the page will download at the same rate on your computer as it does mine,
this is just an estimate.
Graphics
The layout on this page is made with Netscape in
mind -- this is a page that will downloads and looks well in Netscape, in addition to all
of the browsers. The images look a bit larger in the other browsers, while Netscape
seems to keep the image and format of the page under control.

If you have been on the internet long enough to
witness the many changes pages' format, you will be quite familiar with this format:
left-pane frame, middle column containing sections and information, and finally a
white background. Very simple, but still the download time is a bit dissapointing
considering it's format.
The Page
This page mainly focuses on information, not multimedia.
There may be a few multimedia sections, however.
- Information - This page has a variety of information. As
you can tell from the following list, it is outdated: Wishkah information,
Nirvana FAQ, Nirvana Bootleg Guide, Discography, Concert Chronology, Equipment, Krist's
AMN post; in addition to some things about Kurt's death. Nothing new or original
here. There are plenty of other pages that offer more viable information.
- Images - Total Images - 34, [363,891 bytes]. As you can
expect..outdated pictures.

- Audio/Video - WAV., AU., MIDI, AVI. and MOV. formats
available. I will admit that it does offer quite a bit of songs. Still, I am a
little resistant because it is not on the page's server and it is probably outdated.
You could try to download some of the songs if you wanted, but there are plenty of
other pages out there that offer the same thing and more.
- Lyrics - For all of the albums before Wishkah,
including rare songs. In pretty good format.
- Guitar - Same format and style as the Lyrics.
- Links - Well, this seems to be the only impressive section on
the page. It allows you to search through it's database, but not matter what your
query is, you get the same page.
- Message board- A cute lil' message board. Not a lot of
posts, not a lot of anything.
Conclusion
This page is nothing to get excited
over. We can still manage to learn a lot from this page. It is nice to see the
old pages. Back then, most of the pages were quite original. We can also learn
to keep our layout simple, our content fresh, and..hmm, add a search engine to our page.
