I've had pretty good luck with Adobe Reader 7, which runs on OS X. (I think you need version 5 for OS 9.) Versions 6, 8, and 9 all seem bloated. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

You get the lot at one time then. I would not want to see this feature. My reasons: Right now, Flash (to give one example) is distributed by Apple. The vers they distribute is OLD and very buggy. This shows that Apple has little to no commitment to keeping us up to date. Heck, they couldn't even be bothered to include an up to date version of WebKit with Safari! There are some fine pre-packaged auto-update mechanisms available currently. Sparkle, used by many apps, plug-ins, etc, is one such free one. We don't need Apple interfering in what already works. Apple should be FIXING what they currently have, not crushing other developers. The other issue here is that the 3rd party add-ons are simply not ready for this Safari update. So even if Apple gave you 200+ tick-boxes for those items... it would do no good. ...I read an article the other day berating Apple for releasing Safari 3.2.1, because it was "unscheduled". Geeze. If you don't release fixes in a timely fashion, the press rakes you over the coals. And if you do release them as soon as you have 'em, they rake you over the coals anyway!

Here's a follow up to my question... I Pulled out my "IceClean" program and put it to good use and now everything is working correctly... But thanks for the input, I'll check out the few plug-in that I have. Thanks and have a safe and fun filled holiday!
