Hi there, Jim
On 27-Sep-01, you said:

To be honest, I tried FScreen a while ago, but uninstalled it after a day or
so. Although there were benefits (moving non-displayed screens to fast ram,
the faster scrolling in browsers etc.) I found the disadvantages outweighed
them. Some screens refused to open, graphics wouldn't render in PPaint,
crashes, random corrupt graphics etc.
Now if FScreen had an option to exclude named screens, I might give it
another go, but as it stands, it's just too hacky for my liking.
