Hi Marta

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.
