IE already has tons of vulnerabilities, known and as yet to be discovered. These will only grow. I'm tired of all this and would like something, however slow and however limited (viz., to text) that is unlikely to get these problems. Plus it warms "the cockles of my little black heart" to make use of such a "modest" platform to do what the power platforms don't really do for me. One can do on the QL most of one's daily business and leave the PC for only when it is really needed. > Snip > Thanks much, > > Doug LaVerne > Oak Ridge, TN 37830 USA > When you consider the number of man years work that has gone into the Linux Browsers I suspect that the chances of the QL community being able to port one is low. Then there is the problem colud a QL run fast enough to process the pages. Forlorn hope I am afraid.
