It has a >couple of interesting 'features'; a) mail windows use micro size print, This *may* be apropos.... As previously noted, at home, I normally use a SPARCstation, the monitor of which uses a resolution of 1152x900. In the process of setting up & testing my wife's (new) FreeBSD box, which uses a (default) resolution of 1600x1200, I noted that if I had started up Netscape Communicator (4.61) on the FreeBSD box, then went back to the SS5, Communicator not only remembered the window size on the "larger" screen, but also changed the point size of the fonts (so that much was unreadable, until I manually re-selected what I wanted). (Yes, the machines are all set up so that we share home directories across machines.)
