What if the content of the page does not completely load?
You may need to clear your cache. Your cache is a storage area on your computer. When you visit a Web site, the pages you view are stored in your cache. Thus, when you return to that page, your browser can quickly retrieve the file from your computer as opposed to having to find the same file again on the Internet. Say you visit www.bahamaselectricity.com on Monday and we make a change to the home page on Tuesday. You return on Wednesday. If you did not clear your cache, you may see Monday's version of the home page, as your browser will retrieve the home page from your cache. If your cache is cleared, you will see a version of the home page that was updated on Tuesday. Consult the "Help" section of your browser for instructions on how to clear the cache on your computer.
