Ahh, I see. What kind of things that annoys you on Safari out of my curiousity.

Uh, just a second, I'll go load Safari again...

Okay, the interface is a skin, so when I use a custom interface for my OS, the Safari window looks all dumb and sticks out.

My hope page is all distorted, the pictures and table cells are sized randomly, and it looks dumb.

Actually, they fixed more than I thought at first glance. I just had to find the settings. No two browsers have the same settings, so it makes it difficult to find how to customise them. Still wish I could get rid of that skin.

Actually, it's good enough that I put it back on my dock. I think I'm gonna give it a try for a bit and see if I can work out some of the quirks. I hate to rewrite my homepage. Don't know how to get the pictures the right size and line up properly. But I still think Firefox is as close to perfection as I've ever seen.

That's strange because I've always had Macs and I almost exclisively use Safari with no problems.....and I'm a computer dummy to boot! :lol:

Maybe it's because I'm obsessed with customising everything on my computer that I feel restricted with Safari.
 
Okay, one thing that's annoying me right away on Safari is that when I click on a link in a Gmail message, it opens a new window instead of a new tab, and I've set all the settings I could find to open links in new tabs.

Ahhh, I see. I think you need to format the html to work with different browsers. Not all browsers view the same thing, so you need to try make it work on most browsers....many web developers are too lazy and they just decide to set it to view on IE properly and not think about Safari or Firefox.

I know, I just don't know how to do that. I know whoever does it for YouTube does an excellent job at it, but I'm just not that good. I write my code as logically as I know how, then I test it on various browsers. It works fine on Firefox and Opera, but then I try it on IE, and the pictures show up so immense that I have to scroll all over the place to read around them, and when I try it on Safari, the pictures are postage stamps, much too small. I have this problem with setting relative sizes for pictures and tables and table cells (widths and height) relative to the size (width and height) of the browser window. I like making it so that you don't have to scroll from left to right, but also so that the sizes of the pictures line up with the sizes of the columns in a table.

Yeah, it is a lot of work to format it to work properly on all web browsers as they're not created equally.
 
When a few issues that I got sick of will be OVER? Not going to say what issues are since they might will piss other people off.. :D

Don't get Linux. Ever.

Alex was wrong to get Linux.

Really why is that? I'm a Linux user myself but I know that it had limit on some program that didn't support Linux but Linux is far more stable and virus-free than Microsoft. Linux is a open-source which mean everything is free, a whole wide of selections of programs to choose from.

I think you can't use OoVoo if you have Linux. Am I wrong?
 
I hope to purchase a Mac based OS in the next couple of years, but I need to see how things go between school and work before I make a large purchase like that.

However once I get my financial situation sorted out for the spring term at ATU, I may purchase myself a new LCD TV. :D

Yes, you are correct. I heard that they are still in deployment. But I don't use OoVoo. No reason to. I still dual-boot Windows though.

Why purchase when you can install Linux for free with about any computers to PC, old to new. Why waste money? Since Mac and Linux is a similar Operating System almost in every way.
 
yay! I made it to 3 thousand and something posts.....

They may be similar, but Mac OS X has way more software for it than Linux or something UNIX for a PC>
