And I thought I was making a subtle joke to myself that I could chuckle about but no-one else could possibly decipher. Busted. :blush:

The subtle art of dry wit runs through my wife's family so I am very used to it.

558316 2007-06-13 09:08:00 Strange how experiences can differ so much.
I use nothing else but Safari most times, solely because I have found it the fastest of all my browsers and never gives any problems.

I also have Firefox, IE, Mozilla and Opera which I use occasionaly but prefer using Safari above all the others, not just because it is Apple but because it just works best for me.

That said, I still don't think Safari on Windows is anywhere NEAR as good as it says it is, especially in relation to the quick comparisons it shows. I would think Opera beats out all those browsers in HTML performance (I'm not a big fan of Opera) as it always seems faster while surfing than any other browser, and yet it comes in last? sal (67)
558319 2007-06-13 09:53:00 Fits with my experience on dial up, Firefox is fastest, then IE6 or Opera, depending on who knows what, then Safari. I don't find Opera that fast and compared to Firefox it is cumbersome and limited. May be different on broadband as far as speed goes. zqwerty (97)

Most comments said what a **** test it was.
another test (www.hanselman.com afariForWindowsBeta3.aspx)
I'm sure we can go back and forward comparing test's. I would think there would be too many varibles testing websites in a uncontrolled enviroment

You see, Steve Jobs forgot to mention, anyone deserving enough to have a mac or run mac software, should really be using Broadband, you can't even buy a mac these day's with a dial up modem standard
