George,
I have IE 5.2.3 running Jag.
For the love of all that's holy, WHY??? That is the worst browser
possible! Slow, out of date, feature poor, made by MS.
heh heh. I love your gentle, thoughtful chastising. 8^D
Repeat after me: 'Firefox' <http://www.mozilla.org>
Firefox is the way to go as far as browsers go in OS X.
I downloaded it a while back, but after the first time I used it, it
started acting abysmally so I parked it. On the Virtual Desktop
website, I noticed the newest version will be "fixed to work with
Firefox". That would explain it, though I can't imagine why Firefox
would have problems when IE and Safari do not.
Just tried Firefox on the iMac and it seems to work fine, and looks
good. I'll have to look into resolving the conflict with VDT, as
that's essential to my Happy Computing Experience
In the meantime, I'm becoming addicted to tabbed browsing in Safari and
trying to decide whether I should upgrade to Tiger. (I know YOUR
answer ;). However I can't print from Safari on my straight forward
"modern" 1 GHz dualie. I'm printing to a USB connected Brother laser
(in Jag). It fires up the printer and goes through the standard ritual
(printer says it's "processing"), just doesn't print. Any ideas? BTW
Safari didn't print even before VDT
But IE gives me almost perfect service, rarely crashes and has a lot of
usable features. It's old and clunky and not my favorite, but so far
does the best job (for me).
I pound on it daily, it rarely gives me any grief. (when it does, it's
usually because it's been up a week or more.)
