This isn't a bug, it's a feature! :-) Netscape will retrieve page
components from cache unless it believes there's been an update since
the last access. That's intended to speed download times on low-
bandwidth connections. <SHIFT><REFRESH> will force a download of
everything. But there's no difference between <SHIFT> buttons.
Either one sends the same signal to the terminal/PC/workstation.
I've found that Galeon is more efficient than Netscape. They
are both derived from the Mozilla source, so they're almost
identical in appearance and operation, but Galeon seems to run
a lot more efficiently.
