 It would be a great OS period. Perfect for laptops, PDA's,
 writers, programmers, etc...

 I'd like to a graphical version though... sort of a cross
 between Oberon and emacs. Run w3 in a frame, gnus in another,
 mail could update in a little sliding window at the bottom
 of the screen... maybe you could just use it as a desktop
 and run applets in floating windows above it.

 Object oriented... document centric... run it on
 the Mach kernel...
