- So, where's the browser you've ported from X on Unix to Intuition on
- AmigaDOS to show you have some experience to justify saying that the

- Of course, without having looked at the NetScape sources, you have no

- appears to be ranking Unix as a second (or maybe third, with the Mac
- as second) class citizen, it's doubtul they'd consider the cost of
- producing an Amiga version to be worth the benefit.
