Not really, the voyger picture misses out details and makes the gradeints
look awful. But hey the world isn't going to end over it I just wanted
prove a point.

What I ment was fixing what they had already (V3.2) before starting from
scratch with V3.3. It would have been nice to have a stable version of the
current browser while we waited a year for a new super dooper one.

Of course :-) hey I can even turn my Amiga off then on again (If my keyboard
freezes and I can't Ctl-Alt-Del) and it still stays on line. (must be my
modem or something)

Of course again! I use TTF for everything bar Workbench fonts.

Maybe it's my use of the web, that's the problem, I need to print, cut and
copy a lot. I also NEED Flash. Actually It seems that I may still have to
useV3.2 for some stuff, as the new layout engine does some funny stuff to
the pages I use all the time. I'm pretty certain that it isn't the
website's fault, however I can't send any details to vapor becuase the site
requires a login. No big deal, I'll only be needing them until Sept.
anyways.
