Absolutely true, but I still think the ideal system 6 browser should be at least compatible with the lowend 68000. They will have a very slow browser experience, but it will work. > > Also, the java built into the current pages online poses a real problem. > Some sites won't let you on if you don't have a java-enabled browser. A 68000 browser that can view all pages on the Web is impossible, but we should aim at being able to view at least a part of the web. Forget about java and fancy plugins.... What should be included?
