I have tried writely over broadband cable at 5 Mbps, and it's pretty darn
fast! Once it loads the interface, the actual back and forth data transfer
is minimal. Everything happens localy on your machine until you tell it to
"save" the document.
If you click the "special characters" button, it gets the table ONCE, and
then it accesses the cache every other time. I find it to be very well done.
But watch out for the pop-ups. They're not ads. Just half their functions
come up in other windows. Kind of annoying.
