- I have to admit, the more I use IBrowse the more I want a stable
- replacement that handles everything IBrowse currently does. I used to
- think AMosaic was bad, but IBrowse takes my system everytime I use it;
- invalidating the HD as it goes. Yeah, I know it's a beta version, but
- surely the author couldn't fail to miss the billion, or so, "Freeing
- memory that's already free" problems. A damn shame, it could be the
- killer app. we've been waiting for. (Well, maybe. Ish.)

- All good things... Oh, to hell with it - c'mom on AWeb!
