- Oh that's even better. Bloat each program (browser, mailer, etc) with

- Dumping a seperate TCP/IP stack isn't the way to do it. Either you must
- build it into every program (which makes multitasking senseless - it would
- hog too much memory) or you must create a total 'internet' software
- package which would ALSO be large, but then you couldn't add things like
- your *preferred* mailer, newsreader, etc.

- The solution is obviously to add something, AmiTCP, Envoy, or whatever
- they choose and let the use get the browsers and mailers they want.
