George,
I have IE 5.2.3 running Jag.
For the love of all that's holy, WHY??? That is the worst browser
possible! Slow, out of date, feature poor, made by MS.
heh heh. I love your gentle, thoughtful chastising. 8^D
I try :-P
Repeat after me: 'Firefox' <http://www.mozilla.org>
Firefox is the way to go as far as browsers go in OS X.
I downloaded it a while back, but after the first time I used it,
it started acting abysmally so I parked it. On the Virtual Desktop
website, I noticed the newest version will be "fixed to work with
Firefox". That would explain it, though I can't imagine why
Firefox would have problems when IE and Safari do not.
Hmmm, I don't use Virtual Desktop, but Desktop Manager is a similar
thing, free (as in beer AND speech), and has no problems with
Firefox: <http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/index.php> I love this
program, all my macs have it.
But you'll need to upgrade to at least 10.3 to use it.
In the meantime, I'm becoming addicted to tabbed browsing in Safari
and trying to decide whether I should upgrade to Tiger. (I know
YOUR answer ;). However I can't print from Safari on my straight
forward "modern" 1 GHz dualie. I'm printing to a USB connected
Brother laser (in Jag). It fires up the printer and goes through
the standard ritual (printer says it's "processing"), just doesn't
print. Any ideas? BTW Safari didn't print even before VDT
You got a weird setup. I'd try an archive&re-install unless you do
want Tiger. I've always been able to print from Safari, in fact it's
my backup when Firefox prints oddly for some reason. Perhaps update
your printer drivers, or install Gimp-print and use a different
driver for the Brother?
(I had to do that with my HP Laserjet 4, it's got a slightly
different version of PostScript than the built-in driver has and I
ended up using the Gimp-Print drivers for it. <http://gimp-
print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3> )
