I'm sure Kellis would be referring to a graphical browser. I'm sure Lynx
is probably a fine and wonderful browser, but a graphical one is
definitely more to my tastes.

And to Kellis: mintnet sockets and stuff like that are not really a
problem at all. The most serious problem is HTML parsing and display which
is pretty tough. If someone is _seriously_ thinking of doing that, then I
see no problems in the idea.
