<<,Well, I've been running with RamDoubler lately, since NS has a big problem with the memory leak (check your Available RAM before loading NS and after quitting it. You'll notice a big chunk, usually about 10 megs or so, is missing, which stinks. I wish I had about $270 so I could get another 32 megs of RAM. However, I think NS and RD don't cooperate well together.>>

I know this is the case with older versions of Netscape, since I've only got 24 meg. Netscape 3.0b6 fixes the memory problems. You get your RAM back after you quit. NS3.0b6 is also more efficient, it rarely from the out of memory messages

I've stopped using RD because it seems a bit buggy. Perhaps RamDoubler 2.0 will be more stable.

<<Incidentally, this is one of the things that may allow Insignia to produce a MUCH faster SoftWindows-type product that may even allow you to launch W95 >>

Sounds good, I'd love to run some of the windows games and comm. programs. I'm not sure about the PC's Web browsers though. Every PC I've seen with Netscape crawls. A Pentium system actually ran about the speed of my old IIsi, and the Pentium didn't even have more than 16 colors on it.

That's another thing I like about Netscape. It uses less CPU time and seems faster than the other browsers, though I wish it could be faster with caching.

When is Mac OS revision 3 suppose to be out?
