SidecarTridge, MD/Net and HighWire on my STacy

I'm sure some of you have seen this already but new version(s) of HighWire are out.
One (LowWire) is aimed at lower, base ST models and the newer, regular HighWire
release has many improvements.
I grabbed them both and ran the '030 version of Highwire on my STacy, via MD/Net
with a SidecarTridge. It actually works pretty well, all things considered.

Wasn't even aware of the project, but I don't keep up with any software..
The goal of HighWire is to be the best web browser for Atari ST and compatible computers that works smoothly under TOS, MiNT and MagiC, supporting STiK, STinG and MiNTnet APIs

There's a higher-end release now too and it's looking very good. I saw
one screenshot where someone logged into Atari-Forum and it looked
really nice.

Hmm, might try LowWire on my MSTE when I get back from holiday.

If you do and you can figure out how to make it go full screen from
the start, I'd love to know how. :)
Here, it starts somewhere around a 1/2 -> 3/4 screen showing the
HighWire home page as default. Sure, it's easy to click the button
and make it go full screen but I'd like to have that option as a
default setting.
I'll poke around some more with it... Thanks.

I'll try, though I'm not home until Monday next week :)
