Hmm.... (I dont really want to add to this thread!)

Voyagers Image decoders display as they download the image information,
where
as if you use datatypes the whole image needs to be downloaded first and
then it can be displayed right? (Hmm.. needs a full stop there somewhere!
;-) )

So by the time you have downloaded a image and the PPC has displayed the
image in IBrowse, V has finished downloading it and has it displayed
already. Anyway, surely on a 56k connection the system (well my 060) can
decode and display quicker than it can get the info down? :-)

PPC datatypes, yeah sure, but not if they aint needed! ;-)

(This is purely guess work though cos I dont have a PPC yet)
