All in all, it's ok, and yes it does render images instantaneously,
but you're out of luck if you want to look up something on linux-sxs
or sylpheed.good-day.net (total failure, frames I presume).  Partial
failure but still usable on other common sites like www.kde.org.

I'd give it a grade of B-, but it's still better than nothing when
you're down and X-less.
