Easy there, big man. You blow a circuit :)
Things like openURL() might be small time to you but I'm an end user.
Its darned important to me. The only thing I see is the UI, the
resource usage and how fast it operates on my slug P133 with 32 meg of
memory at home. It might be "uber cool" to you but the _alpha_ didn't
cut it for me. You can bet I'll try the release for more than a week.
If its better from _my_ point of view, I'll be hopping up and down
like a frog on a hot tin plate. But optimism isn't in my nature and I
also think we'll be lucky.
