cnn.com has switch to very low graphics, in a very good response to the congestion they have to be experiencing.

CNN.com has had a graceful degradation process in place for some years, but this is the hardest I've *ever* seen them cut it (logo and text; that's it.) Google also has a cached version of an earlier page, with a front page link. (I'm not on-list at the moment; feel free to repeat) Cheers, - -- jra - -- Jay R.
