- Okay, I confess! I used Aweb yesterday and it looked great. It was very fast.
- I'm impressed! I'm sure that I'll get a chance to try it more later in the
- week, but I'd like to try setting more of the mime types before I go the next
- time. That seems easy to do.
- I should have perhaps qualified my statements and mentioned that I also
- use Shapeshifter and so I use Netscape 2.0 (I know it's 2. something, I'm not
- sure if it's 2.0) I am able to use that with no problems so my real concern
- was for the safety of the hard drive since I can already surf the net. I
- installed Aweb onto the 25mg partition where I have Ibrowse. They are the only
- programs on that partition. I would much rather use an Amiga program and
- support Amiga programmers than use Netscape, which is made by a company that
- has done nothing for Amiga users.
