I want to see an up to date menu with up to date prices. If
the menu changes daily, that shouldn't be too hard manage,
because it's probably written on a computer and published
from one too.

A properly designed website shouldn't take forever on
dialup! Of course, what's considered quick depends on what
your idea of quick is. If you're used to a T1+ connection,
anything slower is pure torture.

I'm not spoiled at work. I don't know what kind of
connection I have, but the number is 100. 100 "whats", I
don't recall. I can only say - it's not sooo much quicker
than my dial-up that I care one way or the other.
