Please also note that the graphical web browser was conceived by me in about 1996 as "signbrowser" which was the name of one of our earlist websites. At the time of Joe's book writing their was already a significant European funded project 'Aldict' to create a graphical email program. This involved the same company Widgit, and the result is now marketed by them. Anyone having heard of Aldict could conceive of something similar as a browser. It is amply evident that Joe did not research this aspect of his book. He also has not quoted any 'expert' and in all probability cannot find anyone knowledgeable to sustain his description. thanks Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use"
