I don't use Safari yet. I'm still living in the old world OS using Netscape, but here's my assessment of the situation. When it comes to the internet, if anything seems like it's working, be thankful. There's too many variables to pin problems down to anything specific. Especially your browser. Granted, browsers may not be perfect, but I think (for the most part) they're designed fairly well, even though they all may not be able to display the exact same page. When it comes to the internet, I think a majority of the problems are generated by "web designers" using custom web design software. I would imagine a few of them have marginal design skills, coupled with a less than comfortable familiarity of the program, in addition to the programs deviation from web standards, and so on and so forth. John mentioned some of the things that get wiped out when you reset Safari. If what he says is true, then doing it can't hurt. Especially removing the cookies. The only benefit I can see from those things are, tracking your movements on the internet. Who needs that? On the other hand, if you know where cookies are stored, then you can just trash them without removing the other stuff. -- Tony LaFemina When you want to do more than just buy software http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be April 27.
