- Regardless of what Sun tries to tell us, image processing is still
- performed by the local CPU, not the network. Thus, the decoding
- process is not a network access. Want to redesign datatypes so that
- they can process a data stream instead of a file? A lot of people
- would be extremely grateful.

- Uhhuh. ClassAct certainly doesn't stop you "patching" editing
- hooks, witness Voodoo, where NewEdit works perfectly. The form gadgets
- in AWeb, however, are not parts of ClassAct.

- Try it yourself. In my tests of pages with a lot of inlined images,
- AWeb won Mindwalker by a slight margin, while on large text-only pages
- the difference was more significant. I can not test IBrowse since the
- friendly developers refuse to let I-Net 225 users try their
- software. Just as well, I guess, since I like my drives the way they
- are.
