Any idea of the amount of disk space and memory required?  In particular, I
am moving to a 256K DSL connection (from a one-way cable modem connection).
I share this connection with my wife.  I would be in my interested to cache
the sites we visit.  I can't imagine that it would take much diskspace for
such a scenario, but I really would like a concrete idea.  I am in the
process of a disk upgrade - so this is the perfect time to address this.
