- Excuse me? The AWeb 0.6 that got out and that people are using isn't
- even a BETA version. It's an Alpha. And I've tried both IBrowse 0.68b
- and AWeb 0.6a. And the last one is way more stable. IBrowse has more
- features like backgrounds and HTML-3.0. But I prefer AWeb for it's
- stability. I cannot judge MindWalker as I have not tested it...

-
- That's NOT the reason (Damnit, no you're making me shout as well) The
- reason AWeb is not out is because the author wants to not release it
- until it's tested and has all the features put in. Of course it has
- bugs, but so do most other programs. But so far the AWeb bugs have
- proved minor. And there's no warning to AWeb testers that AWeb might
- trash their HD. Something that's in the IBrowse readme. In my opinion,
- the Ibrowse peopel shoudl not have surrendered to pressure and have
- released these 'buggy' beta's. They should have kept it internal until
- they had it stable.
-
- But I'll reserve final judgement until both IBrowse and AWeb are
- officially released. But from what I've seen sofar, my money is on
- AWeb. :-)
