Granted, I should beef up my system; it only has 24 Mb. But the difference in memory bloat between 3.0 and Communicator is significant. On my box, Communicator is notably sluggish, compared to 3.0 (and compared to Communicator on machines at work, where I have more RAM). ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ TV is chewing gum for the eyes. -- Frank Lloyd Wright
