So we chat away and seek someone who can help us use such a wonderful product. Hopefully, like me, they put cash into the project to help it forward. Many of us simply want to encourge you and say how grateful we are for all the time and effort you put into the program. I would ask anyone with the skills needed to support Peter in his efforts so all the community will benefit. The rest of us need to dig into our pockets and send much needed cash to assist Peter. Please take heart Peter and understand the frustration we have at having no fully usable web browser and yet see all the potential in what you are doing. We do appreciate you and wish you and your family well.
