Hello Wayne - 

WC>>> The blasted computer running Win XP at a GHz with cable
WC>>> modem is three times slower than my 66 Mhz 486 running
WC>>> Windows 3.1 and a 28,800 dialup!!! 

WC>  

CA>> OK ... I tried www.gist.com using W31 Opera v3.62 and it
CA>> loaded in 23 seconds but the TV listings display was
CA>> skewed and parts were unreadable (offscreen to the right).
CA>> I found this in the source code (HTML) of that page: 

WC> My scroll bar in NS 408 handled that but I've set the
WC> number of programs displayed to max. No other problems with
WC> NS 4.08 on a DOS win 3.1 machine with JAVAscript disabled,
WC> my default. Lots of trouble on Win XP on a GHz processor :-(
