          Appeal No. 2004-0354                                                        
          Application No. 09/240,118                                                  

          Appellants admit that Barrick does teach a qualitative indicator            
          of a download interval may be displayed to the user but Barrick             
          does not suggest that this qualitative indicator is integrated              
          into a graphical display of the reference to the test page prior            
          to selection of the hyperlink to the test page.                             
               Appellants also point out that Barrick requires a hyperlink,           
          if there is one, to be selected in order for the browser agent to           
          operate to obtain the download interval, so that it is only after           
          the hyperlink is selected and the browser agent measures the                
          download interval that a qualitative identification can be made             
          and displayed to the user.                                                  
               Moreover, argue appellants, Luzzi does not provide for these           
          deficiencies of Barrick because Luzzi has nothing, whatsoever, to           
          do with file references, i.e., hyperlinks.  Thus, Luzzi does not            
          teach or suggest anything remotely similar to identifying files             
          with references (hyperlinks) to other files, generating                     
          performance data for loading each of said files associated with             
          said references, or integrating said performance data into a                
          graphical display of said references prior to selection of one of           
          said references (principal brief-page 8).                                   
               Because Luzzi teaches only a monitoring agent for collecting           
          performance data of an application program on a server and                  
                                         -6–
