: Does this mean if VideoBaz goes into production you're volunteering to

	While a full X and Motif port would be damn near impossible even
with a VideoBaz, a WWW Browser with inline gif decoding and lots of other
nifties is 100% doable pending VideoBaz (or.. FutureShock.. or Dynavision :)
and TCP/IP. So, if you mean that having an *actual Mosaic 2.4 port* on the
GS is impossible, you might be right. But, otherwise, you are wrong.
