Define a "page" !
Since when has any robot/agent been intelligent enough to know
what effort is required to create these "pages" ?
click <here> to download a smiley face in ASCII.
The page containing ":-)" comes back.
click <here> to turn the satelite 0.5 degrees, map the surface of
the earth in a 100 mile radius and image process the results to
determine how many trees have fallen this week...
The page containing "1" comes back.
looks like the smiley face is 3 times as expensive to me. Maybe they
need 10 crays to let you rapid fire that URL at 28800.
