So, where's the browser you've ported from X on Unix to Intuition on
AmigaDOS to show you have some experience to justify saying that the
cost is "not that high"?

Of course, without having looked at the NetScape sources, you have no
idea how expensive that particular port would be. Given that NetScape
appears to be ranking Unix as a second (or maybe third, with the Mac
as second) class citizen, it's doubtul they'd consider the cost of
producing an Amiga version to be worth the benefit.
