note my snarky "well, okay, technically you do...". I was referring to trying
to open into a big gui browser that takes some time to load versus the
text browsers which load in almost no time. But, regardless of which,
you *do* have to wait for it to start up (unless it's already
open). The amount of waiting may be very small.
