    How are efforts in AmiZilla going? Is the Amiga Mozilla port any closer?

      Sorry ... the developers moved over the the ComiZilla project ... they figured the port to the Commodore-64 would be more useful.

      On track & rockin'! Just around the corner. Any day now. We have hundreds of developers all under NDA working on it. You can sign up to our mailing list with information, only $9.95 a month. Say would you like to buy an AmiZilla Tshirt? only $49.95.

      Just you wait until next month!

    If you're running Internet Explorer, you can upgrade to Mozilla 1.6 here
