Apparently Amiga and Commodore was put in there just to make the list look large, but you can tell VERY fast how hollow M$ is. Sure you can choose Amiga, but then you are stuck! There is no selection in the drop down menu for any Amiga browser. You have to make a selection of browser, so if you choose IE5 and Amiga you probably will get an automated email saying this browser is not available for that computer, please go back to school.

What gets me is the inclusion of Commodore. They must mean C64/128. Surely M$ would never think in their wildest dreams that a C64 or 128 would have a tcp/ip stack, let alone a webbrowser. But of course it does.

One more reason M$ sucks.

Actually you missed my comment..

>But of course it does.

I do know it does, actually more than one. The most popular seems to be with the 'Wheels' OS, it has it's own tcp/ip and it's own Web Browser 'The Wave'. The way I see it a bone stock C64 would be a bit painfull to try to browse the web with gfx enabled. However the C128 in 80 column mode and a SuperCPU accelerator actually sounds fun.

I've always wanted to build a beefed up C128, maybe I'll finally do it when Maurice Randall gets CMDs old products back into production.. Hopefully he will drop the prices a wee bit..

Actually it depends on what hardware you are using. If you are booting Geos/Wheels from a harddrive or Ramlink on a C128/64, you would be up and running within seconds where Windows takes minutes. I doubt there are many users out there trying to access the internet on a bone stock C=ommie with a Vic1541 disk drive;-)

The last I heard of Geoworks was that they were focusing on embedded systems, I know that because my sister bought stock in them and the stock did terrible:-/ The rights for the Commodore version of Geos is owned by Maurice Randall, and he has been doing major(but slow) upgrades to it, hi version is what is now called Wheels.

Neat stuff, I need to set another C128 up...
