I don't know exactly what your problem is... but I run Omniweb hours
and hours a day, with only infrequent crashes. There is some
formatting stuff that OmniWeb doesn't support (like the <dl><ol>) as
well as I'd like, but
a) I don't have to pay to use it.
b) its only a beta application
What exactly are these features that have been developed in Mosaic
over the last 11 months or so that are missing?

Why not pony up the bucks to upgrade their connection to a T1 so you
can download the FREE software faster, over your government paid
account.
Its pretty easy for you to throw stones and make snide comments when
you don't even have the courtesy of using your name.
