That would be nice for those without access to the pee sea. RDPClient and
winXPpro in the next room sure makes it look like a 'competent browser'
is running here.  :-)

I do not subscribe to that list but it is not uncommon for professional
developers and their confidants to keep things to themselves and not
discuss ongoing development in public. NDAs and what have you.

No. This has been discussed ad nauseam there and elsewhere. The
developers have taken a stand against javascript inclusion.

Then get to grips with it.

Let you and others vent spleens and at least sow the seed of 'want'.

Thanks. Is this the place to whinge about software missing from an
Iyonix, or only problems with software supplied 'as is'? Should I
complain about the lack of simple software to create anaglyphs?

I am surprised those who strongly advocate the visible development of a
'competent browser' for RISC OS don't all band together and 'stimulate'
further development of Firefox; and do it all out in the open.

As far as the printing issue goes: when will we all learn not to to
sacrifice a rainforest when we browse the web? Should printing from a
browser be discouraged as unnecessary?
