- Well I got AWEB to FINALLY Work! I stopped trying to Install it using the
- Large FONTS, and told it to use the Small ones Insted this time, and what do
- you know it works WORKS! Sad to say it's a AWEB Problem! Does it Not Install
- the FONTS it needs? How come you get NO Error Mesage about whats Wrong when
- loading the program up, Anything/Something not it just doesn't WORK! Since it
- doesn't LOAD up, what good is Reading the Manual thats in html format thats
- HARD to read without the Web Browser WORKING! If you just Install using the
- Small Fonts Option in the Installer then you don't HAVE THIS PROBLEM!
-
- Though now after using it some, I think I'll stick with Ibrowse. HTML2 only
- SUCKS! No Cache SUCKS! I have a 20 Meg CACHE for IBROWSE, Most of my Web
- sights I go to are ALL in there, I don't even have to be Connected to pretty
- much scan around when I come across something not there, I just startup AmiTCP
- and off I go from there. Pages Load up SO MUCH Faster, why Load up the SAME
- Graphics Over and over again on the web sights to keep going to? Screw that.
- If makes IBrowse Network access seem 100 times better. TO me this is a BIG+.
- Backgrond pictures are also nice, they don't take all that long to load up,
- but totally can change the way the Web Page Looks. Most all the sights I
- goto, don't Over do it to blind you. There's also other Page settings the are
- just Lacking like I highly miss that Improves the over all Web page look.
-
- After using Netscape Under Shapeshifter, I can Compair how Ibrowse looks and
- AWEB in Comparision, a lot of the pages I go to IBrowse is looking quite CLOSE
- to Netscape. When FTP and MAILTO are also Included with the DEMO version or
- the Release finally comes out, I'll have even LESS reson to keep using
- Netscape. For AWEB being a Release version FTP and MAILTO SUCK! HTML 2
- Support ONLY Also Sucks! No CACHE, SUCKS! The Configuration of the whole
- program just SUCKS! But yet is doesn't use MUI, is that a BIG enough Reson to
- use it anyway at this time? I don't think so. It sure is NOT worth BUYING
- right now unless your just a MUI hater.
-
- I know AWEB is NEW, hasn't been around long. But come on, Do you see WEB
- Browsers comming out on OTHER systems, now that only support HTML 2 ONLY?
- There ALL trying to be at least as good as Netscape. AWEB is like not even
- trying.
-
- Oh FLAME AWAY you ALL, but everything I say is TRUE!
