I agree! FTP is getting to be a dirty word. Nyah nyah you can't get to
all this neato stuff!
I have very little network knowledge, but, (dontcha hate it when people
start sentences this way?) wouldn't it be lovely if someone could write
a program to allow people with just an amiga and a modem to access these
sites?
Of course it's COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE (darn it) but it sure would solve
a lot of problems!
