The fact that NetSurf can't print on the Iyonix is an Iyonix issue.  It's
a valid thing to discuss here (though it seems to have been lost, which
was Druck's original point).

The fact that ... RISC OS ... has no competent browser is NOT an Iyonix
issue, as it is a general software issue affecting ALL RISC OS users.  It
doesn't belong here: try comp.sys.acorn.apps.  Not least because the
solution to the RO browser problem does not need to come from an Iyonix
owner.  Unless you know different, that is?

If we follow your logic to its conclusion, we might as well just abandon
all the other forums and discusses everything here.  Then we could isolate
ourselves from the rest of the platform and turn away any solutions they
offer us.  That sounds like the way forward.
