I didnt say it was that *big* of a problem. ;)

It really boils down to a two part question; will an icon with a mouse
pointer do a better job than one without a mouse pointer; do we mind
having a picture of a mouse pointer on an icon.

I kind of think the Web Browser icon and the Internet icon are two of
the important ones, so a little extra thought to "get it right" is
probably worth the effort.

..but personally speaking Im so borderline on this topic right now that
I dont want to say which I would prefer because I'll probably change my
mind tomorrow =)
