There are some improvements that are on the way that have
moved the
browser graphic performance to the level of useful for in browser
graphics gaming, and it is all in javascript engine fiddling. I don't
think it will be going the other way any time soon.
Web pages as in hypertexted pages, or front ends to databases you are
all 100% right, give me something enhanced on the old fashioned text
terminal screen maybe, but not bloat, and be done. Too many pages are
way too busy.
but the performance I saw in a recent posting for running games leads me
to believe that there will be way more javascript stuff coming that
relies on that performance, and none of it will be supported in either
the mac G5 os's or in the earlier Intel mac os's.
I have a very nice macbook which is in that catagory, and is stuck in an
apple time warp that is the real disaster to contend with. if it had
been much more than the 100 bucks I gave for it and does run vnc for
remoting into my computing systems, I'd not have any user for it.
I'm waiting for an affordable take on the larger Chrome notebook with
the high density screen. That is really more useful than anything
else. Lots of small clear windows on a nice clear screen.
