Huh, I always multitask heavily with my Quadra 700...five to six apps is  
normal. Of cource I still do more multitasking with NS, here are eight to ten  
apps normal!

But I have another point where OW beats NS on the Mac: clientside imagemaps  
in frames do not work with NS on the Mac but they do with OW!

What I like with NS on the Mac and which I hope OW will implement is that  
"auto" resize to the correct wide and height (within the limits of the screen,  
of cource). Yes, I know, this doesn't work with frames.
