I want a SmartFox ::

Every since I first read about SmartFox I've wanted one.
The tagline, "The Educated Browser: SmartFox, the Scholar's Web Browser" got me hooked, and the descriptions finished the job. There is indeed:

no easy or powerful way to use these [online] resources, often [we are left] resorting to a cobbled-together set of stand-alone applications (such as EndNote and Word) to make citations, take notes, and create personal collections and bibliographies.

Actually since and EndNote "upgrade" succeeded in slowing my spanking new shiny fast PC to a crawl I've been reduced to doing these things by hand, and hoping for the day Open Office gets its bibliographic act together...

But please Center for History and New Media gimme news! Tell us how the project is going, let us marvel at your efficiency and generosity, but don't treat us like mushrooms! (Left in the dark and fed...)

Do you know if the extensions will be cross-plaform? Every now and then I run into one that only works on Windows (and plugins are really bad at that).

They say only that it will run in "Firefox itself, Mozilla, and the latest versions of Netscape and the AOL browser (all based on the Firefox code base)." BUT I know many US academics use Macs...
