Seconded. Sure, Lynx would be nice for some people. OTOH, most guys already
have Lynx on a dial-in account, or they have a PC/Mac sitting at home that
gives them NetScape.

Having a graphical browser that supports SS would be Dead Cool (tm). Sure,
it won't be NetScape. And sure, it would be a bit slow. It might be useful
for some people, though. OTOH, development on the IIgs is a work of love.
Keeping that in mind, a graphical browser is maybe too ambitious. Lynx can
be done much easier, probably.

Ah, decisions, decisions. What say we have both? ;-)
