That's why I follow Xdelusion's lead and use a MorphOS machine (or better) for browsing.
It's seriously not that bad. Sure, naturally a MorphOS box is going to be better at it, but it really isn't that bad on a 33-50MHz 030.

Isn't it kind of amazing that we have machines in the multiple GHZ range and we still have to wait for crap to happen

Likewise, I agree with CommodoreJohn; It may not be as quick under a 50MHz '030 but I wouldn't call it painful, in fact, I quite enjoy it (nostalgia perhaps, but it feels great).

I am however disappointed that Google+ no longer supports IBrowse ...

Nostalgia for me is old Judas Priest videos, but they're hokey too.

Hi,

@Kesa,

Lets see where shall I start, What do I do with my Amiga?

Well there is , than there is, but I really like, ahhh no, I would rather use, but only when I am really bored, but I really want to use but will set that up tomorrow. Then there are but only on Sunday when I have enought time off to use it, because it has a steep learning curve. And don't you think that is really exciting, and that is so awesome.

Well that explains what I use my Amiga for and it is really great for everything that I mentioned above.
