Yep. I flip back and forth between 3.8 and 3.9 regularly. The only differences
are aesthetics and speed in reality, MUI 3.8 is remarkably free of bugs.

So Voyager is worse at dithering certain things than others. Datatypes would not cure this by any means, nor would PPC datatypes. Neither would some
miraculous thing OTHER than getting a 16bit display.
The fact is - Voyager is in constant, noticable development, you can see the
bugs being fixed, you can see it getting more stable by the day if you look
at the readme on v3.vapor.com. It even runs native on PPC processors.
IBrowse is not, does not, and will not.
I'm sure Oliver Roberts could pop in here and explain how IBrowse is so
great now, but he can't :)
Thanks
