About Shazam's Folly

I hoped to make some fast upload/download videos, as I am on a 56K modem and feel for other people in my plight. But it hasn't really worked out that way: slideshows are a little faster (if any difference).

The purpose of my Favorites section is really a Recommended section. I'm not reloading many of these on a slow connection.

For the record, I strongly dislike the new channels. I hate the loss of control we used to have. I suppose they had problems with bugs. This descending column with a mass of white space to the right looks sorry.
