- As much as I use IBrowse, It's only crashed a couple times, and I think thats
- only because I was doing a bunch of other things at the same time. It's Far
- better then AMosiac 2.0 whatever verstion has ever been, and a WHOLE lot
- FASTER Speed Wize and at accessing the WEB! It has it's problems, I can't
- seem to have address, the Page Layouts can be quite screwed up looking, I
- click on a discription to read what a file is and it doesn't display, have to
- do a Rescan, and then click pack a page and then it shows, but formating is
- BAD, and of course no FORMS, But het it's is Alpha/Beta Software, what do you
- expect, It DID say use at your own RISK did it not? It has it's problems.
- I just took a look at WebVoyager's Home Page, it's suppost to be comming out
- Next month, It sounds really COOL!
-
- I also use Netscape Myself the 2.0b5 version at least now, Mainly when I need
- good FORMS Support. Netscape has it's problems to, though MINOR compaired to
- the Amiga browsers out at this time.
-
- As with ALL Software for the Amiga, you have 1 or 2, maybe a very SMALL group
- writting a program, Takes time, compaired to a LARGE group programing on the
- IBM or MAC, what can you expect? Not quite fair.
