I imagine running background tasks would be fairly painful on an unaccelerated machine... though that's no reason not to do it ;-)

I've always thought some sort of browser type UI would be nice... I've actually gone so far as planning such a project before realizing my limited Applesoft skills just aren't up to the task.
