You have to realize that many folks are using multiple operating systems. On a given day I am on XP, FC4, and OSX. While I applaud a mac tool, the real fault is in writing tools that don't work natively on all operating systems. That's where a server-side app comes in handy.

My school still has labs of Mac OS 9 (maybe older) computers. They have very old versions of IE and Netscape. (Netscape doesn't even have CSS support; using Wikipedia or a number of other sites is be a hassle.) I haven't taken a survey, but I am sure there are many, many people that use an outdated browser at least some of the time. As modern browsers go, they're across the board. We all know IE doesn't have anything but bugs built in. Firefox/Mozilla are flexable and can do a lot, but they don't come with a great many bells/wistles. I can't say about Opera, since I don't use it. Mac OS has always had tight integration between the OS and apps, so it comes as no surprise that things like system-wide spell checking is there. -- Jamie ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://endeavour.zapto.org/astro73/ Thank you to JosephM for inviting me to Gmail!
