Is the Computer World link working? I get, instantly, a connection reset message.

Works fine for me. The top part of the page loads almost immediately. The rest took about 6 seconds (DSL line). Might have been a temporary glitch for you?

I am using Nav.9RC1, and the pages load fine. I have used Gran Paradiso (FF3.0) before.
