- Much less reliable on my system, with IBrowse the worst of the lot. AWeb only
- rarely hangs, but doesn't do things like forms, some graphics, and some downloads,
- where Mosaic plods along but handles virtually everything thrown at it, even if it
- can't display it. About the only time it freezes up is when the system is under
- very heavy use. Not as fancy or fast, but I'll take it any day until the others
- are as reliable. (with AmitCP or MLINK, PPP, MUI 3.3. on an A1200 030 w/ 4M fast
- ram added).
