- Any high color ECS/AGA mode in even low resolutions (640x480) is going

- Regarding AMosaic: it might be worth trying to increase the stack size.
- I bumped mine from a default of (what was it, 8192?) to about 40 Kb.
- Its quite stable now, under OS3.0 and MUI 3.2. I haven't had it crash
- outright. Once in a while it gets "stuck" but I can generally quit it
- and reload it and its fine again.

- IBrowse looks way-cool. But in the current beta form, unfortunately the
- image decoder process crashes every 2-3 minutes on my system, so I can't
- use the program. But when they get the bugs worked out, IBrowse will be
- great. Its a lot faster than Mosaic because it opens up multiple
- connections at once, and you don't have to wait for xfers to finish
- before you follow a link. Also the hierarchical hotlist looks like
- it'll be quite nice. As long as the commercial price ends up under $120
- or so, I'll spring for one.
