Something just occured to me as I reading through this post again.
(no... I know what you're thinking and that's not it...I was cleaning up
my mail and this happened to catch my attention.) Anyway, at the moment
I'm running SETI@home, which is very resource intensive, Pine, and
Netscape (browser, and email) AND a download, and I haven't even touched
my Swap space yet. I've only got 64MB of RAM in this old box.  :)
