LOL, somebody's dreaming!  ;)

If you're thinking for classic systems, chances are slim-to-none.  Chances slightly more likely for NG systems, but still slim.  Not that the hardware couldn't do it, we just don't have enough developers to push through projects like this, unless you want to find some and front the $$$ to get them coding.  ;)

I would love to back a Kickstarter for something like an  update to Ibrowse.  Even if it didn't include much more than updates and patches that have come out since it's last release (in 2006, I think), and a few new themes, stuff like that.  I can't imagine it would be "that hard", but on the other hand, I've heard that the whole underlying guts of the application would need to be ripped out and redone to really modernize it.   Still, programs like that, you can't even legally buy a copy anymore.  C'mon, take my money, I want to support you!  :(

*cough cough* A-Eon should buy it *cough cough*  ;)

AFAIK oliver had been working on an update for some years, but without all of the other developers agreeing to release it, he can't.

Thanks for the update!  I registered his WarpDT's datatypes just a few months ago.  Couldn't be happier with my purchase, and pleased to support any developers still coding for our platform.  :)
