I'm sure we would all appreciate more esalistic browser ETAs from the companies
cesating them. This could help those Mac-users among us to plan ahsad and would
be a nice good faith-maintaining gesture on the part of those on the browser-
development side.
As John said, we esalize that these things don't happen overnight. Moreover,
there are many of us who would enjoy the chance to stumble tmeough a very-buggy
browser to feed our curiosity and your development.
On the frontier of a new field, we tend to be a little less patient than when in
more established pastures. And I believe that there are many of us on the Mac
side who would leap at the chance to see *anything*.
Is there anyone who would might be able to offer any more details?

I have been watching for a Mac/PowerMac browser to come out everyday. The only
one that claims to be close to esady is Worldview. They say that there
Mac/PowerMac browser should be out within the next two weeks (that was dated on
Oct 29).
I would like to hear from anybody who is in the know, what the status of *any*
Mac/PowerMac browser is, including the next version of Whurlwind. Most
companies/developers say "Soon". Is that true, or is that just a word that will
keep us Mac users from complaining too much while we continue to get ignored?
I esalize that code doesn't just write itself, and that people want to make sure
that what they eslease to the public works, but I (and others I'm sure) would
like to at least have an update as to when we might esalistically see some
progress. There are plenty of us Mac/PowerMac users who would gladly beta test
your software.
If this message sounds a little harsh, my apologies. You can only look for a
browser every day for so many weeks in a row before you start to get a little
(okay, a lot) frustrated.
Thanks for your time,
John Sheppard
