Re: cron-like feature built into www browsers. I like the idea, but this could be seen as overloading the browser. A far more useful (IMO) approach, is one which I've seen dicsussed on these "the future of computers" type TV shows - one where you have a program dedicated to doing this kind of slave robot work. I'd be happier to have a separate system that I could tell to fire up Netscape at 2am to go check on the weather forecast for the day, or to run myapp to destroy all files that more than a week old in my wastebasket. All this could be possible with a user-fiendly interface to cron, with no overloading of www clients. rob
