Heh, "rund well even on older machines produced in 1999".

So I'm thinking that the only thing I need X for is a web browser.  So 
why do they bother with all this desktop stuff?  If they made a 
lightweight browser they'd have it made.

Oh, OK.  I guess I need something to play video.  I'd be OK with a text 
mode PDF reader but I guess that might be better in X too.
