I agree that there should be some kind of indication that it's  
"processing", but I don't agree with the rotating cursor option. In  
NEXTSTEP, the colorwheel cursor normally means that the application  
is busy doing something, and that you have to wait until it finishes  
to continue work on that application. That is not true when OW2.0  
is processing: you can open other URLs, select other windows, scroll  
through what's already rendered, etc. I think using the rotating  
wheel cursor in this situation would be to break something standard  
in NS.

What I do is to have the processes window visible most of the time.  
This provides an excellent indication of what OW2.0 is doing.

If you do, please make it an option. One of the things I love about  
NS is the big, clear icons.

Best regards. And congratulations, Wil and the folks and Omni: keep  
up with the good work!
