I don't understand. Because of Slaveing... For example for my 27 Meg Animation for the IFCD after you're done, so's the QL! Nothing loads fast... The thing is that because of the weird way caching is made, no sustained data stream can survive.. That's why we cannot have a decent MP3 player for example without hanging the whole machine. For Video which has even more requirements is practically impossible... The fault is not on the Q40/60 they are perfectly capable... actually more than capable.. to do that and more... SMS doesn't allow you to though. Phoebus
