It seemed Matt was a pretty prescient guy. The "supports the latest standards...whose?" bit gave me a chuckle. There wasn't too much in the way of directed conversation about what different implementations of the web could've been, sadly, though there were some - more just how feasible it'd be to implement the web as it was on plan 9. I'm sure whatever Rob's intern was working has been lost to time. Thanks for finding it!

One I tested with a B+ and a 3.5" LCD screen lasted about 4 hours before it crashed. I should time it with a 3 and one of the DSI interface 7" LCD screens. BLS

Oh, and for anyone who hates web pages but were on the mailing list back then, it is the "[9fans] Gecko based web browser" thread from 2000-07-18. :-P On Sat, Oct 1, 2016 at 8:03 AM James A.

I was browsing of my old plan 9 mail and this conversation from 2000 made me think of your thread here: https://goo.gl/PO85oD
Re: [9fans] Terminal possibliities...
Sure, they would work but it's one more thing to have to charge. My drill batteries are always charged and I already own them. > On Oct 1, 2016, at 9:40 AM, James A.

Re: [9fans] Terminal possibliities...
i don't see a mouse in this keyboard. the keys have non-standard size and i'm sure it sucks to type on it. also once you add up the size of the pi, the pi case, the cables (dvi-hdmi, mini-dvi-hdmi, dp-hdmi and vga-hdmi adaptors) and the keyboard you're arriving at thinkpad dimensions anyway. I forgot the thinkpad also has an inbuilt battery. Good for mobility and against flaky power in development countries. On 10/1/16, James A.
