My home machine with a 56k <DIV></DIV>&gt;modem and IE <DIV></DIV>&gt;works great. One computer in my office with IE is slow as my diesel, <DIV></DIV>&gt;and <DIV></DIV>&gt;another is fast. Netscape seems to work well on one computer where <DIV></DIV>&gt;IE is <DIV></DIV>&gt;slow. I say buy five or ten computers and experiment until you find <DIV></DIV>&gt;a <DIV></DIV>&gt;solution that works. <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;Daniel Snow <DIV></DIV>&gt;PhD Student <DIV></DIV>&gt;UC Berkeley <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;'82 Vanagon Diesel <DIV></DIV>&gt;'78 Puch Maxi Luxe Moped <DIV></DIV>&gt;'72 Motobecane Mobylette Moped <DIV></DIV>&gt;'01 Xootr Scooter <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;From: andrewbell <ANDREWBELL@QWEST.NET> <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;Reply-To: andrewbell <ANDREWBELL@QWEST.NET> <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;Subject: Re: Hotmail is Slow Mail <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 12:29:13 -0500 <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt; <DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;Excite is lickety-split!
