Cindy,
Your comments are surprising to me because I find that Firefox, at least
under Windows, is much faster than Internet Explorer in loading bookshae
pages. That may differ under the Apple OS, though.

I don't know if my experience will bear any relation
to yours or not, because I don't know if you have to
use a particular browser. I've found that Netscape and
Firefox are much slower than IE when I'm dealing with
the page one and especially page two, which I use
more. With IE, I can renew my book, go back to the
list and and renew again almost instantly. With
Netscape and Firefox it takes, as you describe below,
almost as long as to open the list originally.
