You didn't really miss anything.. ICE looks beautiful but it's as stable
as an Italian taxi driver during rush hour. :-)

Really? I remember using it under Multitos when I was too conservative
to fully switch to MiNT "the unix way". I had NOS running in a toswin
window while Oasis was running. It was a bit annoying that Oasis had to
be told manually when NOS was done retrieving news and such.

Then again, now I AM using MiNT the way it's meant, running NOS under
MiNT seems a bit of a strange combination to me. :)

Aah yeah, that could be used as well! :) I never used LED for anything
else than my point stuff, but then again I didn't really like it's feel.

I didn't know either until I did a newsgroup search on MiNT. :) (I found
another active mint newsgroup, I don't remember exactly which because I
can't read news at my work place anymore and I don't have the time to do
it at home, but it was on maus.* somewhere I think).

Groetjes,
