Another thing to consider... not now, but at least in the future. The w3
consortium testbed browser (the new one, Amaya) looks like it has definite
potential, from the little I can see before it crashes. If they can get
the bugs worked out, a lot of people won't _care_ about Netscrape or
Internet Exploder anymore. :-)

Yeah. If you have any problems with those, kick me, since those would be
my dists. in macbsd.com's contrib/unix.... :-)
I believe some ppl (at least one) had a little trouble getting pine set up
with that. If you do, tell the list, because I think we were able to
solve the problem (eventually). :-)
