[nos-bbs] Console vs Screen - maybe it's time for a console application

[Maiko Langelaar]

With all the latest (interesting) discussion on console and screen ...

Perhaps it's time to write a console app to deal with that. Now if it
was written in Java it could be both a browser app and/or xterm app. It
would have to have the exact same look and feel as if it was the console
as we know it today (with virtual terminals, function keys, etc).

I also just read an interesting article about the up and coming HTML5 and
this new 'canvas' HTML tag, wondering what the future for browser plugins
is going to bring us. Sigh ...
