Thanks for writing a more informed argument.
Regarding Voyager, I use it almost all of the time on my Amiga. The other
two are currently just the demos of IBrowse and AWeb.
One thing that's important to note about various browsers and computers: The
more variations you have in hardware/software enhancements, the more likely
problems can and do occur. I've had Voyager punk out on my A4000 numerous
times, and I've always been disappointed with it's printing capabilities,
which should not be shrugged off as an insignificant browser feature. I'm
taking Help Desk at college have had a great need for accurately formatting
and printing various URL data for my assignments and exams. If it didn't do
that, then I would fail, even if I didn't do anything wrong in my own
actions.
As for their vocal criticism of Voyager, two things: 1) they're young 2)
they are developing a competing product, and it is common-place for
competitors to criticize the products that they are attempting to best.
