Euguene,
My experience in RTP was exactly opposite. Netscape was already up and
running and the PC's were actually rather quick. I didn't have the
need to open a second browser window so I can't attest to the
problem you're referring to. Perhaps they've upgraded the RTP computers
recently, I was pleasantly surprised.
