    Thanks for helping, Alan

    Good point about the viruses. I do know Mac users who are running IE and can see photos on the forums. I'll see if any of them know why it's working for them. I think they all run the latest versions of OS X. And Firefox - I love it and run it on my laptop. I still use IE at the office because it's got the majority of the market, but I now prefer Firefox and use it for my personal Web browsing.

    Apparenlty that's not so true anymore. The hackers took note of everyone saying this. Therefore, mac viruses are on the incline. It has nothing to with nothing except supply and demand. There are sooo many more PC users that the hackers didn't waste their time. My favorite was reading threads where people, for some unkown reason, believed it was something to do with the impenatratability of the mac system.

    As far as Mozilla, it has it's problems too. I use it's mail, but gave up on using it for the web. Let's face it, every web site is designed around IE. Supported or not, most mac users I know keep IE because it will work.

    I have not had to go back to IE for any web site since switching to Firefox. Opera, my previous default browswer, did have problems. Mozilla 1.7 also had problems. Firefox has been very compatible. Of course, Firefox is not bug free! Like now, my cursor has disappeared and I can't tell where I'm typing!
