According to Chris, there's something good going on and it's
something to do with Re: [netconnect] MICRODOT for Windows.

Does sound a bit sad (NG) [sorry Olli], my Mac owning mate didn't take long to rip
the p*ss out of "Next Generation". So what does NC stand for, then?

Would have been nice. I tried the demo of Miami once and thought it
looked very dull and uninformative.
[on miami/aweb being in OS3.5]

I'm sure you've already made lots of plans, but you'll definitely need
to push NC as much as possible if these NG Amigas really do start
attracting newcomers - to avoid them just getting used to Miami/AWeb
and deciding to stick with it.

You can say that again! We all know the Voyager problem, Ibrowse just
dumps a load of unformatted text, but AWeb I don't know about because
the demos don't print. I can't find /anything/ on Aminet to print HTML
tables :(

Sorry, thought you just missed the 'A'. I don't mind what specifically
we have, as long as you didn't decide to ignore FTP progs based on
'everyone' using DOpus instead.
[snip loads of stuff about mFTP and DOpus]
Not much use to me - about 30 seconds of uploading every few months
here - but it sounds very nice.

AWeb demo and JS are usable on 6MB so I expect I'll just about cope
for the next couple of months (if it's out by then, of course!)

Just though I'd check, as I remember last August-ish time people
getting a bit irate about you know what ;)

Sorry for being dumb here, but is there a new timescale? I thought you
were going to release it at WOA, but that's not far off now so is NC3
really due that soon that pre-orders will get it /before/ then?
