So far I have only opened files in three tabs but I normally have eight open at once and often more so it will be interesting to see how it works out in 'real life' use. Duh! switching between tabs is so slooow and the screen has now gone blank. It came back after several minutes but that will be a pain if it does it all the time I don't have much choice though so will have to persist ;-( -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server -- Please post to: [email protected] Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
