Post #334,703 by Another Scott 10/24/10 1:17:16 PM Reply	Second annoyance - Refreshes on returning to Safari page The fact that it only has 256MB of ram really shows up with Safari. I haven't had any trouble with pages not rendering yet, but if you have more than a few pages on the Safari screen, then when you switch between them a refresh is triggered. E.g. You start a reply here, but want to check something with Google. You start up a Google session, get the info you need, return to the posting screen and watch your composition get wiped by the refresh. :-( Some have said if you only have 2 or so sites active then it doesn't do the refresh. I dunno the limit for sure... This is why Apps should be better than unoptimized web pages - the footprint should be smaller and there should be less download traffic. It's still an amazing gizmo. Cheers, Scott. (Posted with iPad.)

I've noticed both in Chrome and the Android browser that it will take almost any excuse to refresh the page. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?

Then again, I think our walls are made from the salvaged hulls of exotic alien spacecraft so YMMV.
