Title: I like OWB...

and, in turn, Aros.  Just got done playing around with a live DVD of it.  Pretty slick!

Just thought I'd gush a bit.  Mods feel free to move if this is the wrong place for gushiness.

No, I use OWB everyday under MorphOS. It's definitely the best Amiga browser. It lacks as few of the bells and whistles that some of the bigger browsers like Firefox or Chrome, but its a big improvement over earlier Amiga browsers.

I will have to pick up a mac mini here soon as well for MorphOS goodness, but I have yet to do so.

EDIT: I do wish they had a US rate tho - pretty soon buy in for a Yank is going to be around 200 dollars :lol:

You might want to look at a G4 Powermac instead. If you're serious I could help you put together a system that would be less expensive than a Mac Mini and would have more expansion capability.

BTW - Do you have any programming experience?

Enough to be dangerous.  Python 2.x, just learning Java, and dabblings in some other stuff not anywhere near prime time.

EDIT:  yeah, all my foo money for Amiga stuff is shot for a while after purchasing an A4000D.
