Wrong, Avantgo pages are *guaranteed* to have no Java, or RealPlayer, or
JavaScript, or VBScript, or Big animations, or Shockwave etc.

Why does someone have to compile these sites into a list if they're no
different from any other web sites? Surely you can just go vist the
original, non-avantgo, versions of the sites in all their gargantuan
splendour? Well, no you can't because it's TOO SLOW to view it on a
Newton!!!!!!

I think you just shot your own argument down on this one.
