To be fair, if you only have a 4Meg machine then I would have thought
that running just Arcweb, and a news/email downloader was enough of a
load whilst online. Surely you wouldn't run newsbase and a ttfn or
whatever until you had come off line at which time Arcweb is no
longer needed and can be quitted.
I certainly wouldn't be reading or creating mail whilst being on
line costing me phone money. You wouldn't expect to be able to run up
all the applications you would like if your system specification
restricts it. There has to be a realistic balance IMO.
