Nice!

Speaking of Mobile Firefox/Fennec, I have not looked into what it will
take to port OverbiteFF to it. It will not be a trivial rewrite because
Mobile Fx is going to be Electrolysis-based, which completely changes the
network architecture; see, for example, bugs 590682 and 591707:

	https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590682
	https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591707

This is all very preliminary. I know Thomas was looking at doing an N900
native Gopher client and maybe it's a good time for that. I'm toying with
getting one except I have to save my pennies for my new server.
