    I have several old machines here and there, and developments in X
    and current browsers are really starting to hurt. I remember
    fondly the days when the open-source crowd refered to Microsoft
    software as 'bloatware'.

    What is really killing me are large pages like Python's html
    documentation which I keep locally. I just discovered a solution
    for _that_ problem which I thought I'd share and which I doubt
    that everyone is aware of. It's a browser called 'dillo'. It's
    written in C, and it seems extraordinarily fast. It's
    capabilities are quite limited (doesn't even do frames correctly),
    but it's still very usable for a lot of things. In fact, I kinda
    like how it does Google's 'groups' frames page. It just puts the
    right frame down below. It also seems more stable than 'Oprah'
    which, when I tried it several years ago, was *the* most unstable
    thing I've ever tried to run on FreeBSD with the possible
    exception of the windows CAD program 'microstation95' running
    through 'wine' :)

    Anyway, it might be worth looking at. It can be built from the
    ports collection and tried out in the time it takes to start
    mozilla. I can almost say that *literally*!

    Thanks,

     - Tom
