Hi, I didn't know where those were thanks. I got fink downloaded and
installed so I'll try with fink. Thanks.

I frankly haven't had a problem with versiontracker or macupdate other than
the fact that you sometimes have to hit links in a few windows to finally get
your downloads. One thing you could do is put your search in google instead
and it should take you right to the area in versiontracker you need.
I just double-checked macupdate.com because I didn't want to open my mouth
and put my foot in it. I'm not sure what you mean about the search field
being hidden. It was right at the top of the page and I wasn't thrown
wherever when I opened the page. I'm using leopard with safari 3.
It's very possible for some of us to have problems others don't; look at the
trouble I had moving the mouse n tiger and the trouble i'm having with the
toolbar in Max even though I double-click as advised. However, you might want
to check your voiceover settings or safari setup to see if you can find a
source for any of your problems with versiontracker and macupdate.
I think part of your problem is that you may have to find different ways to
approach problems rather than that you need to use a different browser in a
different OS, and of course finding different ways to approach problems is
part of why this list is so helpful--*smile*!!! It's always a good idea to
post and find out how others are handling problems before you decide
something can't be done.
Btw I like lynx too and still use it for some things but all of us who use it
and even those of us who really like it know how many websites there are that
don't work with it, don't show all the content, or don't allow us to purchase
or search. I wouldn't want to have to go back to lynx for all my browsing
needs.
You could also try installing firefox with firevox if you want to try an
alternative approach to some websites. I know other rowsers have been
mentioned too.
Hth.
