I could put in 64M RAM but the problem is not the speed, rather the fact 
that, like IE, you cannot turn graphics on and off (load images only after 
you find you really need one or more of them).  I don't see much reason to 
waste RAM on a Windows computer.  Does the Linux version of Firebird have 
different features, such as Opera has?  I noticed that the Linux version 
of Opera has a rather different list of preselected Bookmarks for computer 
software.  

Opera has been attaching ads for 'M2' mail but I can change the signature.
