- I use AmiWin on my 1200 at home over a 14.4k and have noticed that it is
- fairly usable to run netscape with. I do not really enjoy using netscape
- as it is very unstable and reminds me of Micro$oft programming, but it
- works on X-Windows. If a person wants all of the fonts for X-Windows and
- has only the unregistered version of AmiWin, just download them from any
- Unix/Linux/GNU site out there. There are a few things that you still
- can not do without the registered AmiWin, but this will give the fonts
- that you want. I have the entire XFree86 running on a Linux server at
- work. Boy, I thought installing Micro$oft apps took diskspace...
