- Calm down. Breathe deeply. :-) Now just be patient a little while and
- all will be fine. AWeb will be officialy released and you can browse
- the web without needing MUI. As for other InterNet tools there are a
- bunch of these around that don't need MUI. AmiFTP is kinda nice. And
- ADMaN is a pretty decent Mail/News client. Or use Thor if you want
- more power and stuff like QWK and Fidonet as well.
-
- I agree on one point with you. I see some pro-MUI peopel accusing
- con-MUi of being fanatic and ridiculing them. But in doing so they
- exhibit the same fanatic attitude. Liek the statement "If you don't
- like the MUI look, then don't configure it. It'lll look just like
- GadTools" Although this statement is true, it's also idiotic. Why
- would people want to install >400KB of libs (I just checked 3.1)
- to view programs in a Gadtools look. A look they could have had
- anyway if the program in question had not required MUI. :-) I can
- understand people wanting a pretty interface. Me, I don't mind a
- blander look if that means more speed.
-
- BTW, ever tried hitting some MUI buttons and seeying nothing
- happening? Then thinking your system is down? Only to find that
- a little later the button shows it's selected state? Now that
- does not happen with GadTools. When you press it gets selected
- right away. This weird MUI behaviour I did not like one bit. But
- probably I'm spoiled by GadTools.
