I finally have had it with Firefox and its crawling speed on page loads, long page scrolls and other user interface issues. So I made the switch back to Safari again. Having used a crowded UI like Firefox’s, using Safari again is like taking a vacation from all the “interface noise”. Safari’s interface is clean and snappy. I do miss a couple of Firefox’s features though, namely “search as you type” and “AdBlocker”. Safari has a very cruel “search as you type” feature (even that, I think was from a plugin I installed).
Speaking of Safari, Carl sent me a site that compares Camino to Firefox and their differences. It’s an interesting read. Maybe I will give Camino a shot again when I am tired of Safari in a few months… But what I am really looking forward to is Apple’s next new OS and all the possibilities it holds (Safari 3.0, Mail 3.0 and other cool stuff).

Chee-hoi and I were emailing back and forth on how he thinks Apple/Mac OSX are just pieces of crap. I was surprised that at this day and age, there are still people out to trash talk Apple even when the most critical of Apple/Mac geeks are making the switch to Mac OSX. Sure, us Mac users do seem a bit cocky at times, but it’s just so hard to grasp how some people can be so stubborn about trying new things when Windows is just so behind on almost every feature it has to offer! Worst yet, most people who trash talk Apple/Mac OSX haven’t even used a Mac for any meaningful period of time!
I think I am qualified to trash talk Windows and non-Apple hardware in general because I had been a hardcore user of “the other side” for so long (I have owned PCs before! Shame on me). I was even a systems administrator for them for years (to a point where I knew more than Dell’s tech support… well, not that they know anything anyway)!
But I took the flame bait myself. I only have myself to blame…
