Ibrowse2.3

> and I'm not talkin' bout Ibrowse.

Well, I disagree. IBrowse is the best Amiga browser today. It needs better Javascript and a little more stability, but as far as I've understood, that's being worked on. With more frequent updates, IBrowse can be a very good browser for AOS4.

As for Voyager, it's too unstable for me. And as far as I've understood, there's no PPC native Amiga version planned (correct me if I'm wrong), so it's a bit of a dead end in that respect.

Well, that's good then, I might give it a go again, and see if it works as well here.

Really? Where can I get it? I can't seem to find anything but the Amiga 68k and the MorphOS verison on the Vapor site. What's the file called?

Guess I was wrong, then. I wasn't aware of there being an Amiga PPC version. :-)

It does, but it is for PowerUp. For me, this makes it quite unusable, since I run WarpUp, and the PowerUp emulation has a tendency of crashing YAM (well, at least it used to). Considering the popularity of WarpUp and YAM, I doubt I'm the only one in this situation.

Well, it IS a dead end then, as far as I am concerned. I have no plans of installing MorphOS as my main OS, and it has too little unique software to be worth the hassle of dual-booting it. So I will be stuck with an emulated 68k version if I am to use Voyager.

> Hint: You didn't say AmigaOS. ;-)

When I say "Amiga version", I usually mean "a version which runs on Amiga WITHOUT installing another OS". For example, I can get Civ2 running on my Amiga through MacOS, but I don't consider it to be an Amiga version. I could get some Linux software running on my Amiga through LinuxAPUS, but I still wouldn't consider it "Amiga software". When I get my AmigaOne, I will be most likely be dualbooting LinuxPPC with AmigaOS. Although everything runs on my AmigaOne, I will consider the software on the AmigaOS side as "Amiga software" and the rest as "Linux software".

If it doesn't run on AmigaOS, I don't consider it an "Amiga version".

Hey, it all depends on the bank. My bank works just fine and dandy with IBrowse today. :-D
