.. well, i did. And if this posting doesn't fail then you'll probably read
my first post using Netscape. Which is much better than NCSA Mosaic because
it is a lot faster and even remembers which articles one already read. It also
obviously behaves a lot more system friendly and has a better memory management.
The times when Windows goes swapping for 5 mins. is definitely over ;-)))
But there is one drawback: It does not support automatic signatures.

Anyway, thanx for the pointer, Bob.

Cheers,

Paul
