true... which is why I'm hoping that sometime soon, we have a platform
independent desktop web-app engine... which I hope is firefox or
chrome based, given their ubiquity.

I'm having some initial success with the current xulrunner (10.0), the
included "first_browser" sample, and running the current release of
TW, even saving without requiring the java applet.  If I can just
manage to tweak it so that links launch using the default browser,
instead of internally, I'll be happy with it... and will gladly put it
on github or the like.

Heh... thankfully, with TW, I didn't have to resort to such tactics...
I just use the latest firefox... not my personal ideal, but perfectly
usable.  I hope I don't ever run into anything for personal use that
requires me to run a Linux VM, for those reasons at least.  I already
run one for XP, for those times when it's impossible to do something
in FF/Chrome under Linux.  I manage systems for a living, which I
really enjoy... but I'd rather not spend any more time off-hours than
I have to, maintaining yet another.
