I finally got around to FTP'ing the 24 bit datatypes from aminet so I
could run ibrowse on a 16 bit screen.

Boy, that's really a lot nicer, isn't it?  You don't know what you're
missing until you have a browser that can handle real 16 bit screens.
The paltry 256 color screen just doesn't cut it any more.

Anyway, it does seem *slighly* less stable now with the 24 bit
datatypes.  By slightly, I mean I get about one crash per 3 hours of
use, where before it was about one crash per 5-6 hours.  Still not too
bad, and it looks so much nicer that its hard to go back anyway.
