Interesting. I gave one a quick check over a year or three ago,
and found it a waste of my time... I just made a partition of
95 megs... my standard for fitting nicely on a ZIP disk if I want
to do a backup... and made two drawers, one for IBrowse and one
for Voyager... and have told each program to make a 40 meg save
site... anything over 90 days is automatically deleted cuz I will
probably never use it again before it is revamped... also, I have
both browsers NOT show any graphics unless I tell them to...
saves me download time on stuff that is shee-ite. If I want to
see the graphics, then I have control, not the program.

Hmmm. Seemed to work here... mine never went over the
25 meg limit I set, but seldom was under 20 megs....

Hmmm, again. I can't say I have ever run across a site I
would bother saving for anyone...

I guess that is why we are Amigan's... we all are very different
folks who have very different needs, almost always directly
opposed to M$....
