Well, IBrowse is indeed a very nice application, no doubt about that. But when an application's utility is too low - and IBrowse's utility is too low, since it is not capable of handling much too many sites - then I still like to say, that IBrowse suck. But as far as its features reach, IBrowse works great and is a very stable application. Crashes caused by IBrowse is indeed very rare, though IBrowse is still the application being the cause of 90 percent of all my crashes. But it is surely a lot more stable than Voyager. > I took another route. I bought an A1 instead of a PC.

Though it is capable of running Linux, and hence necessary applications like a browser, but with my limited knowledge of Linux I still find it to be too much of a hacker's OS, and I simply haven't got the time these days to learn how a new OS works. Even though I knew just as little about Windows, it is a lot easier to use. Using Windows XP everything installs itself more or less by itselfs.
