Dennis, for a split second I can see the funny side of what you are saying,
but I am making a serious point also - the point being that I can save a
html email and display it in IBrowse - which also needs to download and
decode the images etc - and it always does it one hell of a lot quicker than
SimpleHTML does - and that's with IB running purely on 68k (incl image
decoding) whilst SimpleHTML I believe is making use of PPC datatypes for
image decoding which when running on the 240MHz PPC, decode one hell of a
lot faster than the 68060 can manage. So there are clearly some optimisations
that SimpleHTML could possibly make to make life a little more pleasant. This is
about running the same programs on the same hardware making as much
efficient use of that hardware as possible.
Whilst I appreciate it may be difficult to get SimpleHTML to be as optimised
as IB in displaying html, could another alternative be added to SM - and
that would be to allow html emails to be automatically loaded into the
users' configured browser?
I'm comparing apples with apples. I am well aware of the limitations of Classic
and "Next Gen" Amiga hardware having a Athlon 3200 XP/Radeon 9800 Pro based
PC as well. I am not comparing SimpleHTML running on a 50MHz 68060 with a
3.6GHz PIV based PC with 533MHz DDR2 RAM!!
It's my personal choice that I choose to use my Amiga for 99% of my internet
(IB)
and email (SM) needs.
Kind regards,
Kulwant
