I found v1a at the latrobe uni mirror site. It runs like a charm on my 
system of warp with no fixpacks. On one particular netscape enhanced 
site it loaded the home page about 10-15 times quicker than Web 
Explorer. Looks like its Netscape for me :) pity the beta expires 
whereas WebEx is free :( 
 
The jury is still out here on Merlin. I only have 16mb RAM with a 
DX4-100 and thats unlikely to change for quite some time so I'm a 
little underpowered for Merlin. As well Warp is very stable here 
with no fixpacks so I'll have a hard time convincing myself the cost 
of the upgrade is worthwhile. 
Cheers 
Mike
