   Sure would be nice if there was a way to port the Navigator code to a more   
   "Universal    
   Binary" or something such as a JAVA platform that would be capable of running   
   not only    
   on a PC but  on MAC OS X, or LINUX, LINDOWS,  LINSPIRE,  SUN, and many more    
   similar to how  iTunes is capable of running on PC's and MAC's.    
       
   Now that there's more and more vendors using JAVA AJAX like Goggle Mail and   
   many    
   others, it makes sense to create a client capable of running on many different   
   kinds of    
   computers.  Hey, don't believe me in how powerful JAVA and/or JAVA Script use   
   can    
   be..? Go out to http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ and see just how powerful one single   
       
   "default.html" file can really be.  Imagine the type of knowledge-base you   
   could build on    
   WC6 using this kind of technology combined with proper authentication security.   
       
   And now might be a good time to research this since MS VISTA is only a few more   
       
   months away and it's using AERO which is almost the same thing as Cocoa,  the 3   
       
   dimensional GUI core of OS X.    
      
   Since Release Candidate #2 for VISTA came out last week it might make sense to   
   focus    
   in this direction so the new OS doesn't eliminate using existing WcNAV stuff on   
    it.
