- We've had a few people send suggestions and comments directly to us.
- There's not a whole lot to talk about since there are some
- incompatibilities between Go and Executor's filesystem that make Go a
- little more dicey than even an adventurous person is going to like.

- I'm personally the weak link of the chain. Most of the bugs are in my
- domain and they haven't been fixed yet because I'm usually pulled in
- several directions at once.
-
- Bill's added help over here and fixed the bugs that were clearly in
- his domain. I'm hoping that once I get back from CeBit I'll be able
- to fix my bugs and then we can re-release our browser and also make
- Executor chain to it nicely.
-
- After we re-release it and then let you all take a few whacks at it
- and let us clean up what you find, we'll actually release the source
- to it a well, so people will be able to add to it if they like.
-
- BTW, as Kurt mentions in another letter, the browser works nicer on a
- Mac than it does under Executor. If anyone is chomping at the bit to
- send us useful bug reports, and you have a Mac, you could run Go over
- there and let us know what is broken on a Mac. Bill could be working
- on any remaining bugs in his side while I'm at CeBit.
