After its eaten it could become, well, lets not go there. (It could get mixed with apple and come out as...)

Postings from what i perceive as a number of hard core "woodies" in this forum about such an inane topic suggests they have nothing to do, or a lack of activity else where on the forum, or . . . .

My excuse is I have the flu and propped up in bed with my laptop and I'm bored . . . . .

Can we give this person a and get rid of him?

I don't have a computer (this one doesn't count ) but I have a lot of tools.

PS I use Firefox as my main browser but also use Opera, IE, Safari, Nertscape and Mozilla mainly to check how web site and changes run in these browsers (yes there is a difference).

My preference is for Firefox, I would use Opera as my first choice but don't because of a conflict with WYSIWYG on the forums.

Spam?

A very intertesting subject, but one I think I may refrain from in the future.

Have a great day!

This is a person who has little to validate his identity other than his choice of computer.

I am also on a community development committee based in the western suburbs of Melbourne. Two projects I personally have instigated are -

1 - A community based woodworking workshop (not just a men’s shed) for anyone and everyone including women, and young people, people of all ages and types.

2 - A very cheap ISP service for people on disability support pension, aged pension, and widow pension cards (and maybe others who are disadvantaged) who cannot afford broadband connection. It will be Apple server based of course.

If anyone wants to try Safari on their Windoze machine can get a free copy here (a 39mb download) -

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/safari311.html

But if you are going to go to Safari, be aware it has its own security issues.

In particular, allowing a website to download files without being prompted and to steal local files. (OSX & Windows)

It might be of interest to Safari users, especially because Apple aren't looking to fix 2 of the 3 with any urgency.
