True enough, Roger -- now, do you 
want to subject your end user base 
to web pages displayed on an LCD?  
Like I wrote, "not a viable OEM 
option in 1997" for anything 
remotely graphical.  When I was 
with Two Technologies the only 
graphics anyone ran on our 
C&T-based DOS handheld with 
monochrome CGA on an LCD were 
bar graphs and line drawings.
