If you are using a modem (i.e., you are not using someone else's server)
you can just use your favorite viewer program (I prefer VuePrint Pro)
and look in the Cache (usually a directory found under the Netscape
directory)--all the images you've seen on the Web are there! I never use
"Save as" it's just an unnecessary step and takes just that much more
time.
