Ok.

I don't know what sites he refer to, but I can at least remember this
site:
http://www.cdparadise.com
I am pretty sure it isn't supposed to look like V� (and VNG as well)
displays it. I know - it is probably bad HTML, but as we all know: if it
is okay in MSIE and NS, then nobody would consider correcting the HTML
code.

I think mainly because NS and MSIE is what they use at school and at
work, and it is also what their friends use.

I have never liked neither NS or MSIE, but you have to admit, that they
have both every new feature almost available from the start, whereas we
Amigans will have to wait a year or more - and that is if we will get it at
all. I guess that is the lot of the Amigan's, so it is our own choice.
But I still think people will have an tendency to compare V and the other
Amiga browsers with NS/MSIE because both NS and MSIE is very widely used.

It is a bit sad. We have got this incredible computer, but we don't
even ourselves support it by supporting our developers.
Not that people don't want to use the software, but they rather find
a cracked or pirated version. Steve Koren, my favourite newsreader
programmer, would love to code full time for the Amiga, but especially
after an earlier version of NewsRog was pirated, sales have dropped and
Steve naturally can't live on he meagre NewsRog income so he has to find
day job and spend less time coding. The only ones we are harming by
pirating software is ourselves. Stupid.
