then good for you but other people have to account for it. "Safari isn't a major player in the browser market. IE has been a major >player for 10 years now. Some Mozilla based system (Netscape, Firefox, >Mozilla) has been a major player for even longer."
Ummm its like #3 dude and should be accounted for. "Safari is new to the world. Other browsers have tried to make gains, but >have all failed." true but the others dont have an ace on deck like apple does, if apple FORCED ppl into things like m$ does then there would be awhole lot of trouble going on because apple could do that and capture a HUGE part of the browser market. "I would prefer to see Apple adopt firefox as the >standard browser and put money and support behind it and not have to >deal with another platform that people will expect support for when we >don't have the time or the energy to care." LMFAO... well i would like to see m$ give up ie and adopt firefox but it aint gunna happen. And its already there and should be accounted for, you need to come out of your lil "m$" world. >That is the beauty about not doing client work anymore.
