- So, what does that mean? Netscape is the #1 browser out there! Netscape also
- has Built it E-mail and Newsgroup support, Security Features, etc that NO
- Amiga Browser has or comes close to. Sure it's to large a file to run on NON-
- Expanded Amiga. But HEY, I can run Netscape for the Mac with the Shapeshifter
- Emulator on my A1200 030/50Mzh system and all I have is 10 Megs or RAM on my
- system, and the Mac Needs Continuse Memory Chunk. So think what Ram the Amiga
- Takes, what ram the HD Buffers take, What Ram Shapeshifter Takes, the 512K for
- the Mac ROM, Plus System 7.5.1 that I'm using which is even more memory
- Hungery then System 7.1, Plus the MacPPP and MacTCP programs, and yet I can
- STILL run Netscape 2.0!
-
- So what ARE you getting at! I still can't get AWEB working, AMosiac is Slow,
- IBrowse is getting there, but they ALL are still FAR from doing all that
- Netscape does. The Price for Netscape is also quite CHEAP even if it was just
- a Browser ONLY, but which all the added Features it's a steal.
