Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it would be extremely
difficult to create a commercial graphical WWW browser for the following
reasons:

How many people have:
	- A Zip or TransWarp? (16Mhz- Hi Gabe/Matt/Harold!)
	- A Second Sight card (a necessity)
	- GNO/ME? (required for GS/TCP)
	- A good-sized HD?

...and if you do happen to have all those, the probability is great that
you also have access to a UNIX box or Mac/IBM, which would run Netscape
a LOT better *cough*1MhzBus*cough* :)

Ok, so who's going to do this? :)  It's just too cool when ppl say "Wow,
you can do _that_ on a GS?".  There's also just something about the GS
I just can't put my finger on that makes me prefer it to the Macs or IBMs
(and even Sun's on bad days :)  )...maybe just the "Rudy" underdog
thing :)

I'd love to try and start such a project, but I just don't have the time
or the experience.  I know that a lot of the top GS programmers program
IBMs/Macs/etc. all day, and don't want to program when they come home.

Any volunteers? :)
