Well, it comes free with MorphOS, and doesn't require a keyfile, so MorphOS users need never pay for it ever again :) > But for my daily internet usage I will have to choose the browser that > works with most sites, and that's not Voyager. I agree. It isn't IBrowse, either, for me it's IE6. > that doesn't work with IBrowse, I normally try Voyager to see if this > works better. It rarely does. I don't even bother with Amiga browsers anymore. Voyager has a value in providing Amigas with *a* browser, and Pegasos's running MorphOS a browser that takes full advantage of the OS, but as a browser to book flights and pay my bills, I do not leave it to chance and implementation! Even if Voyager worked 100% the same way as IE, I wouldn't use it for the simple reason that I do not sit at my Pegasos - I use my Windows box for everything, because it is more useful to me. I have grown up using Windows development tools, grown used to TextPad, I happen to adore PenguiNet (written by a guy who's done some fantastic work in Voyager's table code) and it makes sense not to have to move my chair to play a song or write an email :) My Pegasos has a huge speaker system, a nice monitor, optical mouse, nice hard disk and DVD/CDRW drive, so it isn't useless. It's just not my front-line machine. (I also have a FreeBSD server which I use for various tasks which I have learnt over the years to perform - they could be done on Windows, but I learnt it on FreeBSD and am more comfortable using a real unix box than any emulation layer or hack (cygwin/ixemul) on any other platform) -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
