I didn't try audio. I'll check it out tonight and see; for what I'd use the
machine for no audio is not a problem.

Yeah- even a total of 256M would make a difference. I was going to follow
the suggestions from the list and try dillo and see how that works for
browsing. Not sure what I'd do for mail. With my iPhone, browsing or mail
might not matter. 

The primary uses for me are a small serial console, ethereal/network
diagnostic tools, etc. "Productivity" apps are a bonus, though a browser is
pretty much getting to be a necessity these days.
