Dear List:
On signing into driversguide.com with Arachne 1.69
from a DOS box in Windows, I acheived 89kb Dos real-mode
memory and then a freeze after downloading over 300,000kb
file at http://driversguide.com/drivers5.html. I will
check it out using read DOS mode {f8} without Windows
drivers loaded in DOS 7.10. before sending this mail.
I was hoping Arachne could do Driversguide, some tech
support pages in a pinch. If not, that says pretty
poor for Arachne users, seeing they need to get better
modems, quite often. I am fortunate to have Windoze.
I feel we should think about ALL Arachne users in
development of the browser. Yes, I know this sounds
trite and overly arrogant to others. I know others
may have contributed far more to Arachne-dev than me.
Just trying to do the best I can with my individual
needs and such. Even L.D. Best has played devil's
advocate sometimes on the List. I agree about web
page design and that should be changed, but I think
a browser that can't do *.WAV files and PDF's with
some functionality is a goner. OOPS! Yes, that's
the name of a new virus going out there in the
Internet world. So many Internet forms and "standards".
If we can come to agree with a "set" of core
values and standards for the browser, we will do
better in the long run. Yes, I want to see it
developed more. Some day, I would also like to
get Linda a better computer, and also to install
Linux Arachne, and get a registration key for her.
I wish my ideal goals were compatible with my
short term needs. God bless Michael for keeping
on trying with his work. Oh, well, when will
I find the time to run the latest version on
a ramdisk?? Happy holidays and Merry Christmas
to the Arachne List and Mr. Polak in Prague.
Yours,
"tomstfor"
