wEll you don't have to run it with all the netscrape overhead. there are whole Os's that run with less than netscrapes windows overhead. Trouble is netscrape is caching raster frames at a mile a minute wholesale into disk so it operates slow like lard at 40 below and it eats all your ram as a matter of necessity. That is not a necessity with a windowing system. The Arena browser ate less than 500K. Opera is small and fast too.
