               1.  A computer system including at least one client computer           
          having a processing capability and communicating one or more data           
          requests to at least one web server of a web site, the web server           
          having access to server data, comprising:                                   
               logic means for selectively causing server data to be                  
          processed at the client computer or at the web site, based at least         
          in part on the processing capability of the client computer, the            
          processing of the server data rendering a formatted data structure;

               logic means for causing the server data to be processed at the         
          web site when a data request from the client computer indicates             
          that the web server is to process server data to render a formatted         
          data structure, regardless of the processing capability of the              
          client computer.
