- What a nice product. If we could have had it six months ago it would have
- dominated the Amiga market. Two points about image loading speed in comparison
- to IBrowse: (1) The pre-release version of IBrowse is limited to four threads.
- We don't know how much faster it will be when that limit is removed. (2) The
- incremental image display on IBrowse makes it *feel* faster subjectively, just
- like the way Macintosh windows were animated to make the old 68000 machines
- seem to be doing something. That would be a nice feature for AWeb.
