I installed it on my 667 dvi powerbook and have had no problems whatsoever. course I don't have much plugged into it and I only have apps like Photoshop Elements and DreamweaverMX, but they run fine.

From what I can gather, 10.2.6 is especially for those who have had kernel panics due to USB hubs and such. What I would do is download the installer (combo or whatever) for 10.2.5 and try 10.2.6. If it doesn't work, downgrade. Or..you could just stick with 10.2.5 until 10.3 comes out. You probably aren't missing anything with 10.2.6...

Kind of doubt if OSX2.6. has any bearing on why IE seems to 'stall' more often than when I had OSX2.5. but I haven't ruled that out just yet.
Other than that,can't tell any difference.

Hehe..IE? Wow..I so rarely, if ever, use that one. Safari and Camino are sooo much better. And now Firebird is coming along nicely.

I just hope that MS doesn't update IE to look like IE6 for Winblows..course I still won't use it.

"Hehe..IE? Wow..I so rarely, if ever, use that one. Safari and Camino are sooo much better."

As far as I'm concerned "Safari" is a bad browser in its present stage. Perhaps later ... maybe it will catch up to IE in any aspect of features.

Could be that "Safari" just doesn't sit well with my 'puter but three computers?
Yeah Right.

To make such a blanket statement JK as if the whole world sees your point of view as the gospel is totally inept.

Your opinion is fine.
I listen/read others opinions but when someone tries to shove their opinion down anyones throat as if -this is how it is- BS .... then right off the negative mode sits in.


 
Been reading some good reports about Camino.
Camino I haven't tried yet.Think I've a copy stashed somewhere even.

I upgraded to 10.2.6 on my DP 800 without problem and all continues to be fine and dandy. I have IE 5.2.2 and that is too is quite fine, but since moving to Safari Beta 2, I now only use IE in those rare cases where a site is Safar adverse.

Whoa...hey man, chill out. Re-read my post and tell me where it says that the whole world sees my point as gospel. Come on...please..show me.  Better yet..quote me.

Can't find it? Oh..yeah. Reason why you can't find it is because that was my opinion.

Here...check this out:
ehe..IE? Wow..I so rarely, if ever, use that one. Safari and Camino are sooo much better. And now Firebird is coming along nicely.

I just hope that MS doesn't update IE to look like IE6 for Winblows..course I still won't use it.  

(emphasis added by me)

See the I's in that paragraph in italics up there? That's what is commonly refered to as the first person. Nowhere in that paragraph any mention of "seeing my point of view (which is, after all, my opinion!) as the gospel". Nor is there any mention about how my opinion should be shoved down anyone's throat.

Oh, and what features would be missing from Safari that IE has? Safari is still a beta so give it time...IE has had several years in which to implement what it has. Except for pop-up ads blocking...they really need to add that.


 thanx.gif Happy Sunday..hope the rest of your day goes better. Next time don't be taking it out on me!

Bill Please take your feet out of John's throat.

And don't force me to edit again.  You know the accepted behavior on this board.

"Safari and Camino are sooo much better"

So tell me JK .. you're saying "Safari" - "are sooo much better" due to your own opinion or what then?

Sure isn't the way I read it.


You have a good day also. smile.gif

In my opinion, for what I use Safari for (browsing), yes, I would have to say, in my opinion, that it is better than Internet Explorer. Granted, there may be some sites out there that display better on IE, or Safari may not display some sites...but for what Safari offers over IE (tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, and quickness...+ the fact that Apple has put it out instead of MS {yes, I'm one of those Apple-lovers..sorry}).

Well..if you disagreed with me, then the best way to respond would have been something more like this:
"I'm sorry to disagree..but" - then give why you would disagree
or
"I disagree..and here's why.."

Instead of coming off so harshly..which was unwarranted in my opinion. Even had I originally posted this:
"Hey...here's what I think of Safari and why my opinion is the best!" or something along those lines...a harsh-worded attack such as yours would still be beneath you Bill.

I upgraded to 10.2.6 on my other Drive. smile.gif

I needed it to run the Unreal 2003 Demo.

Not the greatest game in the world.

But it is one of the most beautiful I've seen.

I think I like Safari better than IE also.

No need for a Browser War though. smile.gif
