Ok, I'll try and "kill" this on-list ASAP ;-)
All data that are in the (virtual) screen is in the memmory. There's no
point (IMO) to save all this data in the memmory when the user changes to
another page (it would probably make switching back/forward much faster as
a plus). The reason why this isn't very good is because (as stated by
several of the users here) Arachne should work on a low-end system (my ca
30M free would probably be more than enough but with only 640K?) and I
think Michael would need to make more than a simple change.
Switching pages and switching to the screensaver are fundamentally
diffrent, by starting the screensaver you are not changing the (virtual)
screen (after the screensaver quits you can only come to one specific
place). If however the screensaver where a user selected program (an old
idea from the list) then they would be the same since the memmory used will
be lost.
