    They had one more thing that was the bomb back when 56kbit was enviable, and that was that when you turned off the image loading (some browsers still support “offline” mode, this was a subset of that) it would still display any images that it had in its cache - so you could read your news with the common page elements rendered but not spend time downloading huge article images.
