hey libertine.......i would scrap safari all together. you don't need it if you are using firefox. i had the same experiences with safari for a long time and gave up trying to find a fix. i think the safari is just plain unstable for mac especially if you like opening numerous windows and tabs at once.

Ever tried Camino?
At one time I've tried nearly every browser available for OSX and I keep coming back to Camino. It's based on the same Mozilla core as Firefox but has an OSX-native GUI, meaning it's faster than FF.

Reason: damn spelling errors......
If you use a lot of extensions in Firefox then Camino may not be for you as it can't use them, but it's been rock-solid for me, has regular updates, looks better, works with all popular media types (if you have all the codecs and applications) and just plain does what it's supposed to do. Give it a try (caminobrowser.org). You might be pleasantly surprised. (BTW - I'm not connected to Camino in any way, just a user and beta tester). |

Suggestion...

It's free, but does require you to register an email address to the "JING" project. I haven't received anything from them since the first email sent for verification. It's very intuitive and quickly became a "must have" in my apps folder. |

Mac problems
Howdy
For all of you having issues with your Macs, I''ll point you to the best source of help: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa This is an Apple-sponsored board, but it is 'staffed' (if you want to call it that) by regular users like you who donate their time. When I moved to Mac this was an invaluable source of info, tips, software, etc. for me. You'll probly like it. Libertine, just join up and post your q. on the 'Safari' section (under 'Applications'). You'll probably get a lot of helpful suggestions in minutes. Of course, there's a downside (everything good seems to have one. *sigh*). The board is Apple-moderated - that means their moderators troll the board - not commenting very often - but deleting posts about problems that Apple has decided to keep quiet. That sounded like conspiracy-theorist drivel to me until I actually saw it happen, but it does. Nevertheless, you won't find a more well-informed, helpful bunch of people than the USERS on this board Fred |

Also, a new Mac user should be to call Apple Support for help. I believe Apple Support is bundled with a new machine for a limited time. I can't remember how long tho. 3 months? A year? |

Sounds great, learning to use Mac is a worthwhile investment. If by 'Airbook' though, you mean the Macbook Air (what else? ) there are two things you should bear in mind: 1. Yep, it certainly _does_ look like a very cool product. 2. Early adopters are ALWAYS beta testers. Always. In the first months of a product's release - especially a very complex, very new product like the Air - there are going to be issues, the first batch of users will discover them firsthand, and you will probably pay more than the second (better) version of the product will cost. That goes for all very new, innovative products, no matter who makes them. I say 'probably' because Apple doesn't usually play the pricing game that most manufacturers do (the iPhone thing was an abberation). But you almost certainly will get some early problems. That's part of the price you pay for being the first on the block with the new toy. Because of that, the extended warranty (AppleCare, they call it) is especially important, cuz you're not going to find many user-serviceable parts in that thing. Decide as you will - if you can afford it, by all means go for it - but be aware of that. Fred |
