Barbara:
With a variety of Macs at work to maintain (G3, G4, G5, towers, laptops
- some at 10.3.9 with all updates and all with Office 2004 with all
updates) and two G4s at home (both running 10.3.9 with all updates
installed and Office 2004 with all updates installed), I found that if
you upgrade to Office 2004 then you should install all the updates. One
of the first updates should be the Autoupdate application so that it
will keep you updated. It's strongly recommended that you run the Disk
Utility > Repair Disk Permissions after installing any updates or
applications.
As for 10.3.9 and Safari crashing, if you've installed all the OS 10.3.9
updates and ran the Disk Utility > Repair Disk Permissions, then the
problem maybe in the cache files. I use a little utility called YASU
("Yet Another System Utility"), which is similar to Cocktail but free,
and you can find the latest at http://www.jimmitchelldesigns.com/ - two
versions now available: 1.2b2 for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 1.0.3 for
Mac OS X 10.2 - 10.3 (Jaguar/Panther). I've been updating my YASU as
needed.
AS for upgrading to Tiger at this time, when such major upgrades for OS
X, or Windows (since I work both platforms) come out, I wait for a month
or so for Apple to fix the bugs first; I apply this same rule at work
for the 30+ Macs I support. I don't believe that upgrading to Tiger is
a good fix for Office 2004 applications but that is a personal choice.
Resources: MacFixIt.com (a lot of comments about Tiger and what's been
broken); http://www.apple.com/macosx/ for Tiger as well as
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback is good; versiontracker.com for
latest version on OS X (and OS 9) applications that are freeware,
donateware, shareware, and purchase. There are other sites as well but
these should assist for now.

Subject: Safari not launching
I wrote about this problem 2 weeks ago - I had updated my Entourage
version (am now on 11.0.0 so it was the one before that) and safari no
longer launched. An upgrade was subsequently offered for E'rage (java
something) which fixed it for a day - but I am back to the same problem.
A) does Tiger solve this?
B) till Tiger, how can I set the default browser to Internet Explorer?
I have a G5 Powerman OS 10.3.9
Thanks
Barbara
