There shouldn't be a monochrome monitor anywhere near the www and its silly
for anyone to think that the world wide web should be designed for optimal
veiwing on monochrome monitors, 16 colors is hard enough to deal with. I
think you'd be better off using a text only browser like lynx, rather than
torchuring yourself with a graphical browser and that kind of monior.

The 2.0b1 version of Netscape now handles subscripts. Don't remember what
the tag for it is at the moment though.

This is a definite possibility, I know Adobe would certainly love this. I
also think that once there are plugins for Macromind Director files to play
in Netscape that we will see a lot of promotional and entertainment related
sites using those instead of regular html.
