- What I meant was that ibrowse suuport the World Wide Web's command as they are
- now. Aweb chose to support and out-dated format that's is now not being use the

- Not aways for me...in fact it crashes more often than ibrowse and on a page that

-
- Correct and see how far they are. They are supporting the standard of the
- present WWW not the past.
-
- Remeber I HAVE SAID that I use aweb. But on sites (most of them) I prefer to use
- a browser that allows me to see the page as it was intended to be seen by the
- creator of the page. And at the moment Ibrowse is the only one that does that.
- In fact I still use Amosaic once in a while. I never stay with one browse and
- will always use them all. I use aweb to do mailto: which ibrowse doesn't suuport
- yet. So depending on my need I use the browser that suits that need. And since
- all crashes on my machine equally I don't make any difference.
