Browsers are the stumbling point (was Re: G5s now dumpster fruit, etc.)

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. jim
