Guys, I'm writing this from an apple browser named Safari, from my windows XP machine.

it got installed today when I updated Itunes on my PC.
it was a checkmark, that I could have unchecked, but I didn't see any harm in trying something new.

I was surprised that it has replaced IE in my quicklaunch bar, as well as from one area of my start menu.
if I were an ordinary user, I would think IE had been removed - as all the easy places I used to launch it from now say safari.

I didn't think apple pulled those kinds of stunts.


Anyhow it seems fine and all, no problem at all using the shack, in fact it has a built in spell check that underlines words with a red line if they are misspelled.

You mean you don't get the constant pop-up to update Quick Time and Install I-Tunes and other stuff I don't want :bigsmile:

Nice to see another browser with some type of spell check,... wonder if MS will ever get on board with that?

This is one thing I like about FireFox... along with a whole lotta other neato add-ons and being faster than IE7.

IE has iespell check... www.iespell.com ... which is handy if you use IE. It is not quite as convenient as FF spell check, but a right click will allow you to spell check prior to hitting the submit button.
