On a related note, for those of you who use Unix-based systems with
XFree86, I cannot strongly enough recommend installing the freely available
TrueType and Postscript fonts and enabling support for these fonts in your
X server.
Using X after doing so is a *completely* different experience (Netscape
even looks decent!) and it frustrates me that after years of available our
default servers on nearly all platforms are still using archaic font
technologies.

Oh to be back on my NeXT box or using NeWS again!
Best,
