OT: My experience with Communicator 4.06 is not very good. It seems to leak memory badly. (thestreet.com seemed to aggravate it.) I tried IE but had problems with it accessing ETrade. I am behind a firewall, and IE doesn't seems to support SOCKS correctly, and the secure proxy I either can't configure correctly or ??? Anyway, I downloaded the 4.5 Communicator preview tonight and so far it seems to be much better than 4.06. I hope the Palm Pilot sync will be supported on the mac platform, with that and better java support I will be loyal to the product. dana

Thanks for the Communicator suggestion the other day. I no longer miss the Windows IE and MS Investor combination thanks to Yahoo's Java Portfolio Manager. The Java Portfolio Manager actually does more for me than MS Investor under MS IE. I've still got a lot to get use to with Mac over wintel, but I can see the light, good-bye MSFT. BTW, I'm only holding 2 stocks worth mentioning, AAPL and LGTO, both up on a very down day. My new Mac is bringing me luck. :-) Speaking of new Mac's and the public response to iMac, etc., I went into Computer City the other day to look at and possibly buy an iMac. I found the keyboard to be too flimsy, so I bought the PowerMac. I'm wondering if the whole iMac hoopla will do this do other computer buyers. Apple, "Bringing in the wintel sheep". Greg
