I run netscape, which is one of those blasted X11 applications that
chews through memory in the X server like mad, and never gives it back.
Eventually I have to exit it and restart it, especially on pages with
lots of graphics, frames, etc.  I've got 24MB installed in my HMX, and
it's not nearly enough for even a day's worth of of heavy searching, in,
for example, IBM's service and support site.
