I have a perfectly good browser. I want a newsreader.

It does all three. Integration man, integration! Why run three rendering engines when one will do?
 
Forgle SHirky replied to Peter Hucker on 19 May 2004
Because it only does each bit a third as well.

Incorrect. Does your email and news have an indexed filing system and advanced filters? Does your browser actually have a cache that does something?

Yes.

Yes, it caches stuff.

IE "caches" stuff. But it doesn't seem to work. I can press "back", and the last page appears before I have a chance to let go of the mouse button.

That's irrelevant. The action might be tied to the mouse press, not the
release.

It is. My point was the page loading takes less time than it take s me to release.
 
Ruddy Rabbits replied to Peter Hucker on 22 May 2004
Surely that means the cache is working.

We were discussing you -- not me.
