ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2019 Entry 29th December 2019: Post 01: AWEB II - By Amitrix for the Amiga. AWEB II - By Amitrix for the Amiga. So by 'hook and by crook' you have somehow managed to connect your Amiga to the Internet and now you want to start surfing. The big issue with the Amiga is the lack of graphics power and raw processor power to deal with the modern web pages. Add to that the web design standards and hand shaking and it can be a real problem. I did try many years ago to surf with my 1200 but it really was a pointless exercise. In the end it proved easier to use the PC and simply burn pages to CD and view them that way. Even that had little point. I certainly had no issue with mailers like YAM and did use to do all my group posting via the Amiga. I dabbled with IRC and also used Aminet a lot to download files. All this came to a grinding halt when I lost 'Dial-Up'. I do use broadband with the Amiga but I have long since given up using my beloved 1200 on the internet. Instead I use MiamiDX and Samba to cruise my own local network and that suits me fine. Dunno how many reading this use Firefox, but if you open your services folder whilst connected and check how many and how much is being used by Firefox I think you will appreciate just what a challenge the Amiga has to keep up with browsing. Essentially the Amiga needs a graphics card and lots of RAM and excellent processing power. Anyhoo... as I am often known to say, try AWeb or iBrowse if want to see for yourself. I used AWeb-II by choice and did set it up to read pages stored on the Amiga. I do know of folk that surf with their Amiga. I just find it easier to use the PC. Have fun.
