The web is useless, even on the most expanded of Amigas.


Thats not entirely true. I quite happily use IBrowse to visit amiga.org, amigaworld.net, amigans.net, pouet.net, groups.yahoo.com, a couple of bugzilla databases, news.bbc.co.uk, etc. etc.

Also, OWB works reasonably well on my A4000/CSPPC/OS4, but its obviously better on my AmigaOne. I sometimes use OWB to visit thedailywtf.com, facebook.com and other websites that are unusable without CSS.

Sorry, but surfing the web with an Amiga is complete torture. I have a Pentium 133(!) with 64 MB, running Windows NT4 and IE6. This combination is lightyears ahead of any Amiga when it comes to surfing the web. And I don't even _like_ IE6!


Like i said, that depends. I use my Amiga to browse the web all the time, because a lot of the sites i happen to visit work great in IBrowse, and even some that don't work fine in OWB.

I'm not saying its as good as it is on the PC, but to say its totally useless, or torture, isn't necessarily true.

BTW, what system were you trying to browse the web on? 020/AGA?

Well, here is what browsing the web is like on my Amigas:

Browsing the web on the amiga

Sorry for the quality, i filmed it on my phone.

I would put the original 150Mb file online, but i don't want to pay for the bandwidth, so if someone else wants to host the original .mp4 file, let me know.
