-Browser that works with Gmail, Google docs.
-PDF reader (for resturant menu's ;) )
Is there a decent native mail client? You could just set GMail up for POP3 or IMAP use. (I doubt that'd help with Google Docs, though.)

My personal day-to-day consists mostly of text-oriented Internet, use of a plain text editor, and drawing - I'd be good for two out of three on my A3000, but I'd need a USB card and drivers for my Wacom (not to mention a quality image editor) for the drawing. Still, be interesting to try sometime.

There's even a random map generator, though it's hardly up to, say, Angband standards of level quality. Still, worth a look.

I've never heard of it. What ever became of plain old fashioned HTML anyhow? The internet sux now a days. You got adverts, pop ups, adware, etc. It's like you go to load one page, but your are gathering data from a billion other servers at the same time. I hate it and would gladly go back to the 1994 standard any day...
I'm with you there, but IPv6 is actually pretty important - we're running out of IP addresses with the current 32-bit scheme. (And it only relates to the number of places you can transport data to, anyway - it has nothing to do with crappy modern Web content.)
