Upgrading from the 286 to the 386, didn't change the speed of
downloading mail in Pegasus Mail, news with TcpPort, reading news
offline with yarn.
Only rendering html pages made a big diffence.
My son, studing engeeniering, tells me that he downloads HTML pages
quiecker in this 40Mhz with Lynx than with IE 5.5 in a 500Hz Celeron
with a winmodem
