Well, I don't know how many people are using NetSurf on each platform but I ONLY use NetSurf on RISC OS because its the most useful and as far as I know the only maintained browser for RISC OS. Withdrawing support for RISC OS, to me, is crazy. There are already far more capable browsers for other platforms so I never use NetSurf on anything other than RISC OS. I can't see my stance changing at least until there is javascript support in NetSurf. I'd love to offer support but I don't have appropriate skills or the time. Mike
