Netscape had an animated icon located at the upper right corner, which would show 'progress' being made whenever a document was being downloaded onto your browser - I believe it showed some meteor type action (This was in the dial-up modem days) Some brilliant fellow on the Exotica music list figured out how to replace that official Netscape animation sequence with some tiny photographs of Sandy Warner. It was wonderful - as documents were downloaded to your PC, Sandy Warner would slowly wink at you. Documents may download today much faster than they did back then, but certainly not with the same charm. Vern
