Each brows...Hi Saint Pat<BR/>Not "better", "different". Each browser has strengths and weaknesses. Camino is fast, nimble, and more stable than Safari. It has a more "Mac-like" look and feel than firefox. But there are still some sites with forms and security (e.g., one of my banks) that Camino wigs out on. For those, I open Firefox. There's no problem with having multiple browsers on your computer.<BR/><BR/>I prefer the "feel" of Camino for most of my internet time, so that's where I keep my bookmarks. I use Firefox only as a backup. It looks too PeeCee for my taste, thought it is very very well built.<BR/><BR/>OTOH, my partner swears by Firefox. She loves it. But a lot of her work relies on internet forms and rather complicated sites, and Firefox is extremely good with those, so she uses it all the time. (Yes, her office is Mac-based.)<BR/><BR/>As for internet exploder, folks, if you are on MacOSX, DELETE IT NOW. It has not supported the Mac for years, it's crude and ugly, and bits of it break with every system upgrade. Firefox or Camino are much much better choices for Safari-alternative browers.<BR/><BR/>I guess this is the computer thread.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, my (working) eye is currently lusting after an Apple X-serve RAID array server.... ;-)<BR/><BR/>ITAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852922.post-85769910471833863282007-02-14T23:26:00.000-05:002007-02-14T23:26:00.000-05:00So Camino is better?

The problem is you have to update the template in blogger first, which wipes out three years of html code I've added. I was trying to trick it by updating, then replacing their code with my own. It wouldn't take. Something about my "img" and "align" had to be in "open quote." So I tried changing all my pics codes...anyway, didn't work. <BR/><BR/>But, in the meantime, the site was doing some really weird things. Sorry for the confusion.<BR/><BR/>Two threads might be interesting. We could have a serious one and a flippant one simultaneously. Or one for tangents and one on the topic.
