RE: [iPAQ] Netscape

It sounds like he is displaying it remotely...

BTW: (More for Michael)...I agree with the wm choice...a very CE working (as in CE 3, not 2) would be great! I would still change a few things about the ce3 look/feel, but the basic concept I think is much better....Maybe sawmill could be customized in lisp to do it without writing one....Maybe we should get John Harper an ipaq :-)

Hmm...I wonder if I can get gnome to run remotely, or at least sawmill anyway just to play around...

:-)
