Well, I suggest just using the cab 2.8 Demo if you do not want to spend the money. You can still surf the web with the demo. BUT! It would be good for you to still support the Atari market by purchasing the full product!
Highwire is a ways off, a browser takes a while to create. Granted the team has some VERY good coders on it, Dan Ackerman (Cab.ovl, Stik II) and Matthias Jaap (HP Penquin) to name two members of the group. On your How many people are working on it? Not enough if you want a browser quick! Check out the list on the HighWire site. (URL below)
It needs a lot of work.. so if you can code in C, JOIN the Group to help!! Remember, the more help with coding, the faster HighWire will be a browser!
But try out HighWire, let us know what you think about it in the HighWire forum on http://highwire.atari-users.net

Hi,
I think the project is one of those "most wanted" for Ataris.
Good to hear that there is development going on anyway.
I'm just thinking about what I should do now:
My CAB2.5 crashes more often in the last time. The main reasons are missing cookies and more HTML4.0
-CAB2.5 supports HTML3.2.
So what should I do now?
Buy CAB2.8 which supports at least cookies but waste money on a dead product?
(Wouldn't be expensive though).
Buy Adamas though most people say it's slow and buggie?
Or wait for Highwire getting a useable browser?
How many people are actually working on this open-source browser?
Bye, Alex
