Check your preferences for Newtscape. There are some that turn off and on
the images being downloaded and such. I use Newtscape exclusively because of
its ability to save web pages as NewtonBooks. I do this with medical
websites all the time. Makes for a great up-to-date reference.
YMMV, but in my experience its the best. Thanks Steve Weyer!

We trained hard- but it seemed that every time we began to form up into
teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to
meet any new situation by reorganizing- and a wonderful method it can be for
creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency,
and demoralization.
