There had been an occasion or two where I'd seen this happen. After waiting
for a rather long time and not seeing anything, I might leave the room & come
back to find the document on the screen. I wish people would adopt
techniques that give realistic progress info about what's going on when
you're doing a download, etc. Also, I can't figure out how pdf got so
popular; seems like we're stuck with it now. It sure has big files that take
forever to download, especially for those with dialup (I was one of those
till recently). Seems like a Word file would work just fine for most things
and would likely be much smaller; free Readers are available for it as well.
