Maybe. It's in the going back and forth fromn renew to
the list again and back to renew that I notice it
most. I hadn't used Firefox much before because with
my older OS I thought it was slow, but I just
downloaded the 1.5 so I could download the new MacAfee
evaluation of sites--have you seen that?--so I've been
trying everything first on the Firefox, after moving
my most important booksmarks to it. It could be the
difference between Mac and PC.
