Thanks you for doing such a great job - putting so many standards in one small and fast browser. I wish you and MacIE team the best in coming New Year, and ** Merry Christmas to everyone ** ! BTW: do you plan to port Tasman engine on other platforms (Windows, Linux/UNIX'es, PDA's)? I am pretty much interested in your work, but as I don't have Mac it's pretty hard to test and/or use your browser. Next computer I am going to buy would be, most likely, one of these cool new PDAs (Compaq iPAQ, Sharp Zaurus) with 64MB of RAM and color TFT screen.
