- There are Web Browsers availible, I don't know why you say there
- aren't if you already know about AMosaic as you state in the quote below:

- That is right, you must have AmigaDOS 3.0+ to reliably use a
- Web Browser.

- It seems you have already given up. You are using a 1986 computer
- to do a 1996 job. It can be done if you get OS 3.1, an accellerator,
- hard drive, and RAM.
- I use my A4000 on the Web every day with IBrowse. I suggest you
- not upgrade your A2000, but get an A1200, A4000, or an upcoming Amiga
- model. I only started using the Internet 7 months ago, and have only been
- using a graphical browser for 5 months. If you have an AGA machine w/
- Fast Ram, it is a piece of cake to set up.
-
- "WE" don't expect the AMIGA to survive, we know it will because
- we will never give up on the best home computer, and the Amiga is still
- the best.
