One picture. If your were a scientist you'd be laughed straight off
this list, you need more than one piece of evidence to be conclusive.

www.jgen.fsnet.co.uk look at the title at the top. now do the test
PROPERLY, with both browsers being run on the workbench, rather on
seperate screens, after all. As a scientist you obviously know that
you must use standard conditions for all tests.

It's faster, and more stable on my system. Point to me a working
Voyager that is the same. You can't. V3.2 is the last full version,
and it's crap. V3.3 is still a beta, and still has lots of problems.

But your talking internal betas not full working products. I have
hardly ever had Ibrowse crash on me, Voyager does it as part of a
routine.

Why should I bother? I'm not insecure about products in the same way
you are. Look at every argument you have posted in the last couple
of weeks and I'm sure you'll notice a pattern. MorphOS, MUI, Voyager,
do you see a pattern? I do.

It is only your opinion that it doesn't. I really would like to be
able use it more regularly, but I have this weird requirement that
software doesn't fall over more often than a pissed 3 legged donkey.
