Apple

If you use Apple ...

We were at a soirée yesterday where the hosts used Apple computers, so I used the occasion to see what this site looked like on that platform. Pretty much the same.. except this pop-up text device I use extensively only caused a yellow box to appear, without the text. The videos didn't play either, but that's overcome by installing the suggested plug in. Apple has made huge strides in catching up with Windows, so hopefully these will be taken care of in the near future. For now, clicking on the link will often take you to the source of the popup text, if there is one.

Rodge,
*sputter* *sputter* I've used 'em Mac thingies exclusively since '84. Hey, they work real(ly) good/well, okay? I dunno what ancient Democrat-written software your friends are usin', but your site's rollover stuff works just fine on my Mac iBook G4 runnin' OS-10.3 & Firefox (with a few unrelated plug-ins useful for downloading prOn... I mean uploading PhotoShops).

Rodger;
I use Apple computers at home, both brand new (Safari broswer and system 10.4.9) and the old iron in system 9 with IE5. No problems with viewing your site, but I keep up with plugins and add-ons.
_Great_ site, BTW.

Apple is okay if that is what you want. I like my Sony Vaio both my desktop and laptop. They were not cheap but still less than the over priced Mac.They just work really well. I have a friend that comes and does stuff on my computer that will not work on his Apple. Something to do in Microsoft Office.

I can do Microsoft Orifice tasks just fine on my Mac. I use Open Office.

I can even deal with some Outlook-using nincompoop sending me a TNEF file. It's just a matter of skillz.

Unlike maroons who bash all the OS's that they've never used, and defend Winduhs simply because it's what their parents bought, I have actually used OS X, Windows, several shades of Linux, and even NetBSD. OS X is the best. My favorite Linux is Knoppix, installed to HD. My preferred Windows is Win2k, but I'd rather not use it at all. Vista makes me barf.

You've got it backwards- in most respects, Windows is still a less stable and refined operating system than Mac OSX...and from everything I've heard of Vista, nothing has changed.
