   The mobile market? You mean pre-smartphone era stuff like WAP browsing? Yeah    
   RIP could've possibly had something there. I was thinking more of the    
   Spinnaker web server that had direct integration with Searchlight. Spinnaker    
   was buggy as hell but if it was fixed up and *really* worked on seriously it    
   had the potential for something interesting. It was purely database-driven and   
   in a weird way seemed like the precursor to CMS-websites like Wordpress.
