   I'm told that's what she does. I don't know about response time then.

   I have the impression that Seamonkey and Firefox are similar, with the
former having the mail and Usenet tools, too. I tried to get Opera but the
synaptic package manager didn't find it in a repository.

   Given the hard use to which this portable is put, and that the Toshiba
Satellite is a low-end system a few years old now, it may be more time and
cost effective to just replace it with a Lenovo with the Intel i3 processor.

Thanks, Bill,
