Is there anything to prevent a dialup Mosaic for,say,Macs from being written? It would be _very_ popular...
You can already run the Mac client over a MacSLIP connection. Tho', even with something like a 56Kb/s connection it's excruciatingly painfully slow. The "problem" with Mosaic is that it makes you realize that Internet multi- media hypertext applications require at least a T1 (1,544,000 bps) connection to begin to be liveable. I continue to be amazed at the fact that no matter how fast you go or how much memory you buy it still only takes about eighteen months to go from the leading edge to the lame edge. I now find it hard to imagine that I would ever make the statement "a 50Mb/s connection just isn't fast enough" -- I well remember when I thought that a T1 was more then you could ever use, but Mosaic just burns it up. more! more! more! :-) Jon
