Safari - Blah!
So made a version of , big hairy deal. Like we need another browser yet already. No sooner was it released with great fanfare by apple as being the ultimate secure browser than the very next day a serious hole in it is found - ROFLMAO. Well I thought I would try it out anyway to see what it looked like. What a mistake.
This computer is a relatively new Dell Latitude D620 Core 2 Duo with 1 GB RAM, Windows XP SP2 with all updates and a good nVidia graphics card. It should have no problems with displaying anything. Well here’s a screen shot of what I got after running Safari

The point, of course, is use what browser works for you. As long as it doesn’t use a big blue ‘e’ as its icon.
