I agree. Heck, they had a browser for my ancient Handspring Visor Deluxe. 
It's resolution is only 160x160. IIRC the Blazer browser did something to 
shrink the pictures on webpages to make the page more viewable. If you 
needed to see the picture you could expand it to full size. Couldn't 
something similar be done on the IIgs? I know the Visor had much more 
processing power than a stock GS, but aren't most people who would think of 
connecting the GS to the web already running accelerators?
