Oy! Cyberdog did NOT flop! It was based on OpenDoc... and _that_ went  
down in flames! I used Cyberdog for _years_ because otherwise I'd  
have to use MSIE!

Yes, it was a Mac. No, it wasn't portable. I looked at one in a store  
once. When I realised that it was too heavy to carry comfortably from  
the shelf where it was to the cash register, I knew it was doomed.  
Doomed, I say.
