- well AM 2.0 is not finished yet so here are my tips.
-
- NO dumb patches or background utils.
- always wait for disk activity and screen redraws to finish before doing anything
- avoid sites with lots of forms.
- no vmm ( for now )
- uses mui 3.1 or 2.3 ( not 3.0 )
- use am 1.2 or alynx ( alynx can go any where but it is text only yet supports forms and frames )
- wait for voyager, ibrowse, am 2.0 final, or some finished browser
- run shapeshifter and netscape 1.12 ( 2.0 is buggy on a real mac )
- keep colour depth down for now.
-
- wow that's alot I came up with and now I can browse for hours with no crashes!!
