'scuse me for butting in on a tired thread, but has anyone considered a
divorce from contemporary browser technology?
Something, perhaps, that retrieved the content via the http protocol and
left the display and formatting to the user's disretion? with/without
pictures, with/without frames, with/without text formatting, etc? perhaps
some sort of pluging registry similar to that of the open-source image
processing tool "The GIMP"?
Personally, I think we need to "get out of the box" when thinking about the
web and browsers, and let's face it - a new operating system that either
completely lacks or is dependent on another O/S for utilising the web is a
dead end in todays environment....
Open to comments, suggestions, flames, etc
Cheers,
-James
