Whoo hooo: Still trying to push the bennies of IE...I use Firefox with aplomb on my G5 Dual2Ghz Mac - Not once have I had to switch to Safari or IE to get a page rendered correctly. Not once have I have Firefox crash and quit (unlike both Safari and IE).

So what kind of Mac do you use? A Big Mac with cheese? You are the piece you filthy loud mouthed poser you!; Posted by: nomorems Posted on: 05/20/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
