I think you're the first, Kev. The conversion takes no more than a couple
of minutes even on the slowest Suns I've tried. I don't think I've
actually tried that specific system, and I'll see if I can go find a test
machine for it ... but I'm inclined to think instead that there's
something peculiar in your Netscape settings that it's choking on.
How did it eventually come out? Did you ever get a result or did you kill
it?
