Great news that more system 6 apps are underway! I'm looking forward to see what appears, and probably will become a customer for same, if only to support the venture. About the browser, though, there are a couple of things I'm wondering. Specifically: 1. Would this be your regular GUI PPP-based browser, capable of reproducing all the graphics on the Web? 2. If so, how is it going to work on the early compacts -- most of them non-colour-capable, only about 8 Mhz power capacity and operating within the constraint of 4 MB or less? Someone -- maybe even someone on this list, I can't remember -- once aptly described the Internet experience of these machines as <quotes>like trying to catch Niagara Falls in a teacup <close quotes>. Those of us using Plusses, Classics, and so on have had our hopes raised before and usually have been disappointed. So, just to clarify things, we are really talking about a System 6 browser for Mac IIs and above, right?
