    Aah, but then you might, by bowing down to the usability wishes of the AOL-using masses, offend the critical 733t-geek demographic who, when switching between their various desktop enviroments, want the same "looks-like-arse" theme throughout (see also: CDE, Athena, most any Gnome and KDE themes, all the "who needs MacOS X - I can theme Enlightenment to look just like it" comments passim ad nauseam etc.)

    And if we offend the overweight-and-hairy Lynx-or-die brigade, Mozilla will surely fail.

    And again it has to be said:

    Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) need to be supported in Mozilla.

    Who really cares about that piece of bloated slow open source software ? Oh yeah , it's open source so they have to force it down our throats. I am getting fucking sick of Mozilla and MAC OSX updates. By the way, Steve Jobs is as big a con man as Bill Gates.

    It is just another release of some unimportant software.
