- Ya your right! I was using MFTP, but now after getting my hands of AmFTP and
- using it, it FAR FAR better then MFTP, or Any of them other FTP programs out
- there. As for it using MUI, Who cares, your already using it for other things
- now anyway, besides the program is QUICK, you really can't even tell anyway
- from looking at it. Of course I've been using AmIRC now for quite some time
- and that RULES also. I was sent a couple Snapshots of Voyager to see what it
- looked like, and I must say it looks COOL also, Kind of has that Netscape
- Look, I guess you could say, and uses MUI also. I like MUI. Makes things
- Easyer for the programmer, makes things easyer, more configurable for ME.
- Sure it's not as FAST as other GUI's, but that's the price you PAY for
- features. The days of 68000 processors are GONE, People better get out of
- the 80's with there systems, and UPGRADE not complain about there SSLLLOOWWW
- computers, Gezz and wonder why the Amiga is laging behind everyone else these
- days. Can't wait to add a PowerPC board to my A1200 when they come out, I
- think I can wait that long, I don't want to just spend it on a 060 card
- right now, a 030/50Mzh system is fast enough right now.
-
- Maybe I'll get the SurferPack myself. Who knows, I really don't want to have
- to pay for VooDoo which I hear is Included, I alreay have payed for THOR.
