i downloaded Safari about 1 month ago, and the latest update yesterday, and i hate it ...

ok it looks nice, (much nicer than Internet Explorer tho god knows that's not difficult)

but when you actually try to use it, to look at web pages, use bookmarks or do any of the other things you can do without thinking about on other browsers it turns into a klutzy piece of junk imo ... i guess it's a case of what your used to, but i'm pretty sure my life's too short to get used to safari

The lack of a Refresh Frame function renders it even more unusable for BF than the other browsers (customize markets won't work without it)

TBH Macs p1ss all over PCs in virtually every area and that's why they are dearer on the pocket.

Virus on the Mac? Rarer than a straight horse race.Laugh

hackers don't bother writing viruses for Macs because they know Mac owners are all skint from paying for their Macs Happy

Laughmaybe Gus. More likely tho it because mac OS is well programmed unlike the windows unsecure mess.

I was looking at the mac mini for £510 seems like a decent spec

There are plenty of potential exploits on a mac. But why bother writing one for a few hundred machines when you can write one for a few MILLION.

Macs are more style than substance. Nice looking toy's. Always have been, always will be.

FunBob - Try using a PC in media work. Macs are industry standard in film,tv,music,graphics design,printing... the list goes on. There's a reason why.Happy

Complete nonsense.
There is no reason why, and also no reason for using a Mac for betting which is what this this forum is about.
For unbiased opinion have a look at:

Ask around in film,tv and music production. Is anyone using PCs other than personal laptops in those industries? I know for a fact they are not.

handy comparison of security of major browsers:

(remove space after wiki/)

iirc safari recently had a fairly serious flaw that went unpatched for about 6 weeks.
