>You are absolutely right. Another problem with Mosaic is its >ONE-WAY nature. It can talk to you, but you cannot talk to >(talk back to?) it. (Unlike the MUSEUM-L, for example!) Actually, that is not true. People working on Mosaic (the client) and the HTTP servers have already implemented many two-way communication devices, especially forms, which allow users to query databases, add information into the server, and many many other very cool functions. When we first started working on our our "virtual museum", we were worried about this too, and almost immediately developed our guest book, which allows people to leave comments about the server. These comments are put right back into the server so that all the people who sign are part of the "museum". A couple other quick points... the earliest version of Mosaic for Windows was Slllloooowww, but those were VERY early versions and the speed has improved greatly. Remember, all the Mosaic for Windows version have been alpha or beta test releases. I find the newest versions of Mosaic blazingly fast, but maybe I am just incredibly spoiled. Also, the image quality on Mosaic is quite good and I have figured out some nifty tricks to make it optimals. The point here is: Mosaic has both its pluses and minuses. Do not be too swayed by "gung ho" people like myself or self described luddites, but take a look for yourself... judge what Mosaic can or cannot do.
