IBrowse vs. Peecee, go figure.
« on: February 24, 2007, 03:21:19 PM »
Brewers tickets became available at 9:00 this morning.  Naturally, I logged onto the website to start buying.
The layout appears better in Opera than IBrowse, so I dusted off and fired up the peecee.  I had to dig to find the keyboard.  Anyway, there is a feature on the website that makes you wait for access, and reloads the page, basically a queue for users.  Well, in Opera, the javascript hangs and you get nowhere.  So, I assumed the problem is that the site is IE compliant.  I ran IE, and the same thing happened.  So, what the heck, I'll try IBrowse again.  The javascript works perfectly in IBrowse!

IBrowse is by far the fastest browser I've used, and I've used quite a few.  Opera is my 2nd favorite.

The ONLY advantage IE has is that most sites are improperly written, and thus IE compliant!

Note that I use my Amiga for things I consider useful, which does not include a lot of frilly sites that make extensive use of Java, Flash and Windoze Executables.  I don't access such sites on any other platform either.  There is only one site I cannot access with my Amiga that I need to use which is taxslayer.com.  All the other sites work acceptably in IBrowse although the layout isn't always perfect.  Many pages I use do layout better in IBrowse than on the Peecee browsers though!
I could only complain about previous versions of IBrowse.  The current version fixes all the gripes I had.

Maybe I need to coin a new phrase, "Horsepower sells Windoze, Productivity keeps me from selling my Amiga".

My 060 does not process CPU instructions as fast as my whateverGHz peecee.  But, the peecee does require me to bend over backwards to get work done at the same pace I can on my Amiga.

Yeah, if I uninstalled Windoze and all the software on my peecee, it'd run that "Non system disk or disk error" prompt pretty darned fast.
