There are several browsing options, the two that rise to the top in
my opinion are Newtscape and Courier. These are both quite different
from the traditional Mosiac/netscape style web browser.
That said, Courier is a text only arrangement that performs really
well and is excellent in taking advantage of the Newtons built in
interface and structure. Newtscape is MUCH more full featured and can
even display pictures if need be, and allows for the saving of web
pages as Newton books directly on the Newton.
A super cool feature of Newtscape is also the ability to have it auto-
download web pages for you. You can set it up to come on line and
suck macrumors (for example) before you wake up, and then just grab
it and go. Sweet.
You will have to wait and see how you feel about the browsing on
Newton experience, but basically it's not suitable for modern
graphical web pages.
