- I meant having internet programs that are somewhat consistant and easy to
- install and configure and don't assume detailed knowlege of TCP/IP, UUCP,
- sendmail etc. guts. I used the PC as an example. And just for the record, I
- don't believe the Amiga will compete (numbers wise) with the PC anytime soon,
- so that is not the issue. I would like to see the Amiga have some nice
- internet apps that don't take a rocket scientist to set up though. It appears
- Thor may be one of those. OTOH, I guess I don't care absolutely either way.
