I don't think anything I can use can use HTML5 (possibly Classilla, but
I haven't checked and the download doesn't work anyway). The best I've
got is Firefox 2 which has problems with occasional websites that
require newer versions of Java / JavaScript or Flash.

Of course I really meant in terms of me making new FileMaker Pro
databases and was only poking fun at the usual press release hyperbole,
although for a change it doesn't say something excessively silly like
"all platforms".  :o)
