- First of all, yes, IBrowse is still in Beta form. You need to realize
- though that the Omnipresence web page where you can get it also states
- that the Beta version should be run from a small partition (can be
- validated quickly) or directly from RAM. I run it from RAM all the
- time. Sure it crashes, not all that often on my system, but it
- doesn't screw up anything at all on my hard drive in any case.
- Bitching and moaning about a product that isn't even finished yet
- is very pointless. Get off their backs and let them do a good job.
- Then get the finished product and be the judge.
- BTW, I also use AMosaic 2.0 pre 3 from time to time, and it's much
- more stable now using it with MUI v3.3!
