I've heard this rumour as well, but use Safari as my primary browser and have never had this issue. Safari 3.1 is 2x faster than FF3 and 10x faster than FF2 at DOM manipulation, so in general, the slippy map will be much faster on latest Safari than any other browser on mac. > * JOSM (especially concerned about usability with 1 button mouse) This is likely your sticking point. The inability to drag the map is a real killer on JOSM, and I'm not aware of any decent ways of working around it within the java on mac. (I do a *lot* of zooming in and out, and use of the ctrl-arrows, whenever I need JOSM without an eexternal mouse.) > * Potlatch Potlatch works great, and is primarily developed on an apple machine. > * ...?

Fix JOSM to drag with a single button mouse, and you should be golden. :) Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
