What I do, on my BBS, is program in slower ANSI speeds for screens that would 
benefit from being seen at a more 'retro' pace. You know, super long ANSI 
screens that look great at 57.6 or 28.8k... but for most things, like menus are 














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































message listings - file listings, etc... I let those fly by so the user 
experience is as good as possible.

Some things in life feel better slowed down.. errr.
