I just ran wget on http://www.motherboards.org/ to see if it came in
okay, and it did -- and quite rapidly too. I stored the page in my
temp\ directory and then opened the stored page in Netscape, and the
page opened quickly but the resulting calls back to the Internet for all
the other "stuff" that the page needed caused it to hang up. (Netscape
didn't hang up, just the motherboards.org page.) Some of the stuff
completed (the banner ad, for example, which appeared to be running a
Java applet) and some of it didn't.

Later I'll try it with SuperSlurp. Both wget and SuperSlurp can get the
additional page items (graphics, applets, whatever) but for http stuff I
prefer SuperSlurp.
