Try:  http://www.rysher.com/highlander/index.html  and load all the
images.

>nothing ever crashed AMosaic other than early MUI versions.  (Now using
>3.2)  AWeb has only crashed a couple of times, and I'm not sure why.

Also using A3000 w/Picasso and OS3.1.  I learned to avoid AMosaic crashes
by not loading pages with complex forms or images from certain pages. 
Also learned not to touch the AMosaic interface while it was doing pretty
much anything.  Later version of MUI improved things but it was still
unsuited for general poking about as you never knew when the next page when
bring it crashing down.  Worked fine for accessing Aminet and other simple
things.
