Sam,
 I no longer use DOS, and I most certainly don't miss
the problems and limitations, of FAT filesystems and
the horrendous memory management of DOS. I also don't
have a rocket powered computer, both computers I use
are ten years old, and bottom of the line models when
they were new. BUT if Arachne would work with a more
capable OS, I would definitly use it! I have Links,
Lynx, w3m, Konquerer, Nautilus, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera
and Dillo, installed. I use Links most of the time. The
only thing I would want more out of Arachne are the
SSL, Javascript, and XHTML capabilities. I love the
Gothic whimsy of the UI, and the ease of installation
and configuration of it's wizard. I would use it as
my desktop, for email, browsing, and file manager.
Because of the dedicated developers, I still hold
out hope that Arachne will continue, and other FOSS
developers, of the Free Unice type will join them.
I would use it on a new high-powered computer.
Much more than other browsers, Arachne has charm!

Well, unless you want Arachne to be a web browser for machines of the
last millennium only, you'd better get used to people using high-powered
ones. :-)



What's the point of running DOS and Arachne on a high-powered
computer? I'd like to know what you think. Why not just use something
that is fully capable already? There is little hope that Arachne
will ever make up it's current limitations.
