It's significantly slower than Netscape 4.x. It is definately much slower than NS4. I have a dual PPro200 with 256 meg of RAM. It also crashes with about the same frequency. I'd like it better if it had certain features, like the 'progress' bar-thingy on loading pages, and a 'stop' button that could stop running GIF animations etc. However, it does show a lot of promise for the future, and I'm sure it'll surpass Nutscrape before too terribly much longer. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@linkfast.net Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
