- Oh, when? Look, it's not that it doesn't /work/ on a stock 1200/020, but to
- say that it's responsive is a statement I wouldn't make. Sure, it's a helluva
- lot better than 2.3, but that's not what I am comparing it to.
-
- And another thing, people say that there are no (oh, well) bugs in MUI in v3+.
- Now THAT'S simply not true. For example, sometimes the GUI isn't refreshed
- after a help bubble has popped up. Looks good? Not in my book.

- Oh, how come AWeb (go ahead and shoot me, I've got it) works so nicely when
- AMosaic and IBrowse seems to crash EVERYBODY's systems at least once per

- interface, no matter how much the MUI advocates would want it to be.
