Hah! It must be nice to have the luxury of owning that opinion! :-)

	I think jfieber's idea has a lot going for it. It avoids the 
problem with the "semi-public" ( meaning public binaries for specific 
OS's, but no source ) WWW browsers such as mosaic and netscape being 
unusable with term unless one had the source and the required widgets, 
which, oddly enough, most modem-net users dont have...

	me, i still use chimera, it is getting better all the time! And i 
can make it myself..with term,, just the way i need it! A lot of the 
functionality missing from the earlier releases ( like saving things ) is 
now available.
