Actually, there's one thing that Amiga browsers don't suffer from that
NS/IE both do. Recursive frames. I couldn't possibly say how to crash
Windows just by looking at a webpage ;) Frames, zero second redirects
using a <meta> tag. Work it out ;) Should anyone ever want to have the
BSOD pay a visit to a Windows user ;)

Which can be a weeks work (or less) if you learn to do something useful
with a PC. (Step 1: Install Linux instead of Windows. Step 2: Spend 2
hours learning Perl or Java or anything else you can get lots of money
for. Erm, hang on, it's not that easy. I'm worth the money I get for these
things, honest ;)
