  24. It's quite simple really, the Netscape folks thought of some cute HTML
  25. tricks which only work with THEIR browser.  Plus the latest rage in
  26. plug-ins such as Java and Shockwave keep it in the news.  If you think the
  27. hype is hot now, wait and watch now that Microsoft has declared it's
  28. challenge for Web domminance.  The wholesale abandonment of HTML standards
  29. will become an increasing problem for Amiga and other platform browsers
  30. which are more "generic".
