Now that you mention it I did install something from testing. But it was the msn plug-in (butterfly) which many said they had been using with no problems.

Did the xterm thing and I don't really have anything near 100%. Top column is showing around 45 to 56%. Don't know what the things mean though. Says "/usr/sbin/browserd". Next row was going up to about 35% but now seems down to 3%. Says "/usr/sbin/browser"
