Hang. Maybe OmniWeb's fault

[Christopher Douty]

I'll preface this.  I've never run a WWW client before.  I have seen various  
people running Windows Mosaic, and I must say that OmniWeb is engrossing.  So  
far it has behaved well for a beta program.

The well-noted sound "feature" is apparent even with a T1 connection through  
CERFnet.  The stuttering sound is not limited to SLIP connections.  No too bad  
though.

I have come across one bug not yet mentioned (I think).  I was transferring an  
MPEG from the NII hierarchy found on sunsite.unc.edu.  The path can be found  
starting on NCSA demo page.  I clicked on the image and OmniWeb began grabbing  
the MPEG.  About 200K into the transfer, the connection halted, at least no  
more information transferred.  I pressed the ABORT button to no avail.  OmniWeb  
seemed frozen.  I had a busy pointer when focused on the app, ABORT seemed to  
do nothing, however the globe animation continued running.

After waiting a minute or so, I was able to kill OmniWeb through the standard  
NeXT "Processes" panel.  It is possible that my net connection gasped and  
disrupted OmniWeb.  We've been having problems all day.
