Riocar Bootup logo page?

Anyone else notice it takes along time to open the page up?Also i am looking for a chevy "bowtie" logo.Would someone like to make one for me or point me in the right direction? Please?

It probably takes a while to load because it's loading the Java applet which displays the animated logos.

thanks,so i guess thats normal?ive got a 1 meg connection.

Or perhaps he's getting the permissions error that I also see:

Why can't they be provided as animated images? At least as an "alternative" link?

Because I've been busy with issues in the family this past week, so I haven't had time to toss the animated gif converter Mike made on the server. I have no timeframe right now, but it will come.

Drankino, I think it's safe to speak for everyone that our thoughts are with you and your family and we appreciate everything you've so generously done for this community.

Re-reading my earlier post, it looks quite selfish and greedy. Don't take it that way, please.

I would like to be able to view the animated logos, either with a working applet or as an animated image, but since you do it as a favour to the community, I'm happy to wait until you (or someone else) finds time and motivation to do it. If I get really desperate, I could do it myself, of course (but probably not as effectively)...

I didn't intend anything more then a post to say "Yep, I know about the possible problems, and already have a solution ready to be put into place". It's been an odd week as well, it seems my thought process is a bit different at times.

*sigh*, the joys and pitfalls of life.

why do you get an error?
I have no problems...
I'm just curious...
