I was just wondering if anyone knows what, if anything, has
taken Mothra's place in Brazil? Is there a replacement for
Mothra in sight?

The current state of the art in Unix/Windoze web browsers seem
to be as far as one can get from the 'small and elegant' philosophy
of Plan9, and I have decided I really don't want a web browser that
thinks it is a mail and news reader as well :-/

I read with amusement in another list that the minimum amount of
free hard disk space required to install an IE5 upgrade in W95 was
about 20% larger than my entire hard disk on my old laptop...
