I'm on a G4 PowerBook running 10.3.2.

I get the pop-up and then the preloader but it looks to stall every so often for long periods. I tried it this morning but nothing happened and I left it to load in the background for half an hour this afternoon with no joy. Can't be my connection - I'm on 600k Broadband and aren't having problems with any other sites??

Tried it in Safari, Firefox and IE 5.2.3.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a go on a few more macs this afternoon.
Seems strange as it has worked previously.
Cheers,

Seems to work just dandy on Safari and MSIE5 for me.

I'm on dial-up but I didn't really mind the wait as there was at least something to show activity and indicate a likely arrival time.
You might want to consider adding a % counter or at least mentioning the file size so everyone knows what to expect.

Incidentally, I'd strongly suggest you have the (flash) page default to the 'Me' page content.
users will expect to see something other than a blank space after their wait.

The Dave Luff 'logo' seems a bit wimpy and lacks any sort of presence. More could (should?) definately be made of the logo area.
Other than that, a sound, little website with some nice work.
(not convinced you need a popup though)

btw, huzzah for LCP!

Works for me (except the popup) on Mac OS9.2 / IE 5.1

When I say except the popup I mean I can see it, just don't understand the requirement for a new window when there is nothing wrong with the one your already in. Have to say this is a pet hate of mine that i come across all to often.

Can give you the names of a few good people if you want.

I'd put a bit more work on your site if i was you tho - seems a bit sparse to be 4 years worth of work.

I noticed a few unforced errors in the 'Me' bit:

'Including Fox...' should be part of the preceeding sentence.

No comma after 'Printing'

'Fit well into and team'?

Tut tut, kids of today...
