- No problems here. Even on an unregistered SS. (I only use it rarely to

- well. Even 2.01. Could it be user error?

- Ever heard of saving up? I did. And bought me a 486 that now neatly

- Of course AWeb does not have centering or backgrounds. As these are
- not in the HTML 2.0 standard. Which is what AWeb currently supports.
- And if you bothered to read the AWeb manual you see that the NHTML
- backgrounds and centering) tags as well as HTML 3.0 will be supported
- in the next major release. But if indeed Ibrowse is the future in
- Amiga Webbrowsing, I fear bleak times for the Amiga. As IBrowse does
- equal Netscape in bugginess. Luckily there are plenty of people that
- disagree with you. Also, don't you find it strange that Yvon has been
- able to deliver a stable product from scratch (on his own!) in less
- time than it took the Ibrowse team to deliver IBrowse 0.81b. And they
- had the AMosaic experience to go from.
