webcrawlers and such are nice, and AWS allows you to get a lot of work done
quickly. No need for a windows library. I did some work, and am going to
enhance them with the new support for coockies.

I didn't mean to imply building an IE6 compatible browser. I meant something
a lot simpler, but still useful, and a fun project.
Basically, getting the the HTML, ultra-simply rendering and display -
including links.
This shouldn't be too hard to do.

After that, the sky's the limit....

It's all just a SMOP any way.
