Ten megabytes of building blocks built right into the client would be
quite an array to choose from. Some of the "lincoln logs" could be hot
items, like a door. The door graphic could be pre-armed to open when a
user clicks on it.
I could go into your "room" through a moving hallway which lasted as
long as the load, then leave a note on your blackboard, use the vending
machine, watch a movie and leave.
I wish I could write a patch for Mosaic which gave the user the option
of storing each inline graphic in a library. A default of maybe 500
graphics could be saved in order of the most frequently used.
This "smartload" for inline graphics would save me a lot of time.
