As does my boss. I'm also inclined to agree with you that memory usage with GNU Emacs is within acceptable limits. A comparison with Netscape is fair, although a better metric would be against 2.0 instead of 1.1N. Whatever the difference, there is no comparison with respect to functionality, Gnus + X?Emacs wins no contest. A hard choice has already been made to abandon support for earlier versions of Emacs. Are we also prepared to abandon lesser endowed systems as well? -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
