SA>I like Safari and Firefox better anyway :)

I run MSIE 6, although on a Windows system, but I hate the interface
and run the Maxthon front end instead. I've tried both the new Opera
and Firefox and both are pretty good but I still prefer Maxthon.
If it was stand-alone I would use it without MSIE but there you go..
I run enough protection though that nothing has gotten onto my
computer in 7 or 8 years.

I haven't actually seen an Apple in operation in decades so
I can't compare directly..

My first computer was an Apple II+ clone back around 1983..   B)
