Tenchusatsu, It does? I just tried it, and it looked like anything but what I saw in my browser. And I've got all the standard-issue Microsoft apps, including IE 5.5 and Word 2000 on Win2K. How did you do it? I used exactly the same software. Try highlighting it in a way that it includes the box around the message before you copy. Actually, it doesn't look exactly the same as it does inside the browser, but it's pretty close. It's too bad that Microsoft's bloatware is king in this market. Makes me wonder whether horrendous applications like this really can be recompiled and optimized for Pentium 4. Agreed about bloatware, but I am not sure about optimization. I don't think regular business apps lends themselves to optimization the same way as the various encoder / decoders. Also, one way to define "bloat" is an application that uses excessive amount of space on hard disk and excessive footprint once loaded into memory, as well as excessive consumption of CPU cycles to achieve their task. Applications optimized for speed tend to create more of a bloat in 1st and 2nd categor, and reduce it in 3rd category, not really making any gains in the overall bloat. But I am sure 1.5 GHz P4 would be a lot more responsive than my dual Celeron 366 even in though the mainstream apps are the weakest area performance-wise of P4. Joe
