Netscape Communicator is the ultimate CPU hog! If you have a large amount of e-mail to download or try to get the headers of a usenet group with thousands of posts, you just about cannot do anything else with the Mac or PC until it's done, or you start saying bad things about Netscape programmers' ancestors and force kill it. ;) ===== "The earth swarms with inhabitants.
