It may take 5MB of text, but it certainly takes a lot more in memory
(on Solaris it is from 20-100MB).

There is nothing preventing a Netscape-like browser to be ported to
GS/OS, but it just takes effort.  N5 is the collective effort of
several hundred Netscape employees and hundreds of people on the net.
Not an easy task for the handful of GS programmers who would be
qualified to do so.
