	I have used many sun3 machines and still regard them with a good
	degree of affection. The 3/60 in particular makes a very nice X

	NetBSD runs on many platforms. Special care has been taken to
	ensure that different platforms with the same CPU can run the same
	binaries. This means that the sun3, sun3x, amiga, atari, hp300,
	mac68k, mvme68k, and x68k could all run the same binary packages.

	Mozilla is a recent addition to the package collection, and it
	takes (in m68k terms) a large amount of CPU, memory, time, and
	disk to compile. I seemed to recall that someone on the mac68k
	list was working on the package (which should be able to run
	on the sun3 as well), hence my earlier comment.

	If it is not currently available, I'm confident that it will soon
	be. There are a considerable number of NetBSD/mac68k users who
	definitely also want to be able to run Mozilla.
