I hope, one day, to be able to do so... but my browser of
choice is IBrowse, although I don't mind Voyager... I still
like how IBrowse looks on my ECS 3000. Voyager just cannot
hold a candle to the graphics that IBrowse gives me. Not
even close, after ages and ages of fiddling with this and
that to get it right. Even the new image thingsy I downloaded
last week don't help. : (((

I have to say I have had only one or two crashes with IE or NS on
the 200MMX... can't say that for any browser on the Amiga. : ((

I love how the printouts turn out with the MACs at school. I
am hoping one day for the Amiga to give me the same quality...

I find their mailing programs just ugly and limited compared to
YAM. Cannot say what MicroDOT, or whatever it is called, does.
As an example, with the mailer at school, I haven't found a way
to JUST UPLOAD the mail, and NOT have it DOWNLOAD in the same
action. I like YAM giving ME the choice... UP *OR* DOWN.
I think the thing I hate most about a MAC is that it seems to
assume that I am so bloody stupid I cannot dare do anything
below the GUI. At least with a MS based machine one does have
some choice to use DOS... That one thing elevates an Intel
based machine a bit in my eyes compared to MACs. AND, I find
the text a bit more blurry than I am used to on my system at
home...

Uh, I seem to feel I can do the same with IBrowse....
