The memory footprint went up dramatically (Macintosh version at least), so that I can no longer have all my favorite apps open.

You won't see the dancing java ads, but will see your quotes. If you want fancy tables, I have an awk script which renders them. A few more stupid AWK tricks (cygnus.com has most GNU stuff ported), and you can type "getquote msft" and have the info without the ads appear. And if "lynx -source" is too big, I have a tiny URL to stdout program (which supports user/pass and SSL!). It is running now in a timed script that displays the quotes I want to a virtual console. Become an iconoclast, and crawl into a shell.

If your not intrested in all the N$ crap (frames, animated Gifs, cookies, ...) it is really quite easy code to write a few socket calls and parsing of some text. I wrote one over a weekend that handles 99% of my web browsing needs. I haven't looked at the Macs in a long time, when I did the hardware was not up to handling the GUI, does the current OS support a "text mode" or must everything be GUI? - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

I'm currently using Opera v2.12 which uses alot less memory than Netscape, but I don't know how 'secure' it is. I'm download the win32 port of Linx right now to give it a try.
