HI Cindy,
That is interesting. I use IE and have always found that page to take a long
time to load. I usually use the shift enter to browse other links from that
page.
What version of IE are you using? The version may make a difference. I'm
using Version: 6.0.2900.2180.

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.
