If you click the little push pin icon (when in edit mode) on the sites you put in place they should still be there when you go back. Evidently, the Top Sites window is supposed to be dynamic, adjusting to your actual browsing habits--whatever it thinks those are. For now, I've just pinned the ones I want to stay there and let a few at the bottom change. Getting tired of seeing my bank log-in page up there a lot. It should remember sites that you delete and not put them there any more. I'm sure that will get better with time. > > So what is left of this new Safari Browser. Several of my websites > don't even show up, Safari can't manage, firefox can. I don't think > the switch was necessary. That is a common discussion on the web since Safari 4 came out. I would more suspect the sites as being non-standards-compliant, but it may be Safari. The problem is when a site thinks it has to adhere to the "Internet Explorer Standard." That messes it up for all other browsers that attempt to honor standards compliance. Remember Safari 4 is billed as a Beta, so it is clear that Apple doesn't intend for it to be a finished product. They put it out there for feedback. I, for one, love it. I like the speed and the new interface, and I have yet to run into a site that it can't display, although I don't bank with BB&T. > > This brings up another subject.

The iPhone has the ability to read more formats by design. Your friend probably sent you some windows graphic format that requires something that understands it. While TextEdit does a great job of opening .doc and .docx files (even better than some versions of Office) it evidently doesn't understand all graphic file formats. > Textedit did not open it, nor did Bean.

What you're running into is the proliferation of formats by competing interests. Be glad you're using a Mac. At least you are on a platform that TRIES to get along with everyone, rather than an operating system that says that everyone needs to get along with IT. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9 Certified Developer Project Foreman NewMedia Construction Co. jfle...@newmediaconstco.com Instigator The BB&J Network The "Go-To Guys" for FileMaker Development in Louisville insti...@thebbandj.net _______________________________________________ The next Louisville Computer Society meeting will be March 24 at MacAuthority, 128 Breckinridge Lane.
