          Since everything is so high paced nowadays people have less patience for time. I read somewhere that 10 years ago the average person would wait 60 seconds for a website or site to load on their computer, today it is something like 15 seconds before they start to get impatient. Good job on the resource, nice colors too.

          This is SO important. when I was on the phone with customer service, they did not give me a time for waiting. I sat on the phone for ten minutes and got restless. Some customer service lines will give you updates on whats happening and how much longer you will wait.
