    Brian.  A P233MMX *is* a speedy machine.  The machine I was running the
list off for that one day, which was handling it nicely, was a 486DX4-100.  I
don't know why people think that anything less than 1-2 generations off the
top of the line isn't "speedy."  Aside from games and server work in small
ISP high end CPUs are just a marketing ploy.  :)

    As for his problem, I've seen it as well.  What happens is that you'll
type, 2-3 characters, on the 2nd one it matches, on the 3 it displays but the
3rd is at the end and it doesn't erase.  It happens when the machine is
"slow" (GRRRR), heavily loaded, swapping out for memory, accessing the disk
for any reason, etc.
