Sounds exciting.  Now that I've got some other obligations out of the way, 
or at least appeased for now, I'm going to try fooling around with it. 
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.  Btw, what's graphical browser 
status, Steven?  Are you going to recommend older versions of Firebird, a 
newer Opera, or maybe custom-compile something?  Sounds like it could 
function as a fairly capable multimedia station right out of the box. 
Looks like more great work, Steven.

Thanks, James
