Windows machines are funny. They still run DOS under the hood?

1. Safari. Firefox.

2. Because they are solid/fast.

3. Wait, there's a browser named SeaMonkey?!

Oh and Mac's are so special lol it's just Unix under the covers

Willy, you need to make a Rollbar browser, it will sell better than browsers for idiot's

1. Safari for mac

2. It just works

3. Pros - It just works right the first time. Don't need a bunch of "add-ons," just click-to-flash to disable flash. Cons- People whom have used the windows version think your nuts for liking it. (Safari under windows is a totally different experience.)

4. no problems, ever.

OS X is a Unix. It's not under any covers, it's an advertised benifit. =)

I will agree with this statement when talking about Windows ME and older consumer based OS because DOS was either integrated or Windows actually ran as a graphical interface on top of DOS but that all changed with Windows NT.

Here is an update to the browsers.
I have been using IE9 since it was released and have had no issues with JepTalk or any other websites I visit.

Ok, so we need some hard core examples if you wish us to cross over to the dark side

[JeepNWilly]

No I do not wish for anyone to cross over to the darkside but I am just providing informatio since I know most people are affraid to test software unlike myself I am always testing new stuff.

PS: IE9 is only for Windows 7

[Rollbar]

I'm glad you said for WIN7.

Is there a tst drive for this or do I have to down load it and call JIM B/Willy for tech support

[JeepNWilly]

Just call JimB for Level 1 Tech Support.
Let him filter out all the easy stuff
I do level 3 and up

My hats off to you for taking on Rollbar.

Btw, any difference between IE8 and 9
I can't use it since all my machines are XP and I will hold out until the end of time!

[JeepNWilly]

Visually is a lot like Chrome very clean without clutter. I will try to remember to get a screenshot when I get home.

[Jim B]

Mr. Tester, have you tried Firefox 4 yet? anyone else It should run on XP.

Briefly looked at the features and like what I see. Might even switch to it in the future if IE8 starts to get outdated.

Not yet but give me a few minutes and I will install it.

[JeepNWilly]

It's installed and has less clutter that FF3.6 but still could be cleaner. It also seems to launch a lot faster than the older version which is a really good thing. I am replying to this post using it.

[Jim B]

How is FF4 as compared to IE8? How does JT look on it? I noticed that the other browsers don't make the click sound when you switch, is this a setting or they just don't do it?

[BlackOpsPete]

I'm Running FF4 and it is much faster than the last version. They have organized the top bars some and put the open tabs at the top. I like it so far. No problems here.

[JeepNWilly]

JT look good with FF4. Same rounded edges that you see with FF3.6
Not sure about the click, I have never really paid any attention to it.

[JeepNWilly]

hmm I just noticed a plugin issue with FF4. the video on the Hurry up to get back to Camp post
Not sure if it is an issue at my location or FF4 issue.
Error:
pfs.mozilla.org:443 uses an invalid security certificate


PS: It must be due to the firewall here at work not allowing invalid security certificates. I guess once FF corrects the invalid security cert it should work

[BlackOpsPete]

I watch that vid without issue so it may be firewall related...

[Rollbar]

I'm switching to Chrome (on my office PC WIN7) and have to import all my settings/bookmarks to IE then to chrome. I can't get from Safari to chrome no tab to do so.

[Rollbar]

OK, I could not find a TAB to IMPORT my settings/favorites to IE9 so I can then EXPORT them to Chrome.

[Rollbar]

Also, is there a TAB to DELETE all the favorites from IE9? This way I can import the current favorites to IE9, then to Chrome.

Thanks, Working toward the RE Browser-right Willy

[JeepNWilly]

Favorites are located in the path below
C:\Users\<your Windows User ID>\Favorites
They are simple internet shortcuts.

Chrome and the other browsers hide them in some sort of database file or something similar.

[Rollbar]

How do I IMPORT to IE9 from Safari?

I don't see a IMPORT tab

[JeepNWilly]

there you go

[Rollbar]

Question: If I delete Safari will that delete my iTUNES for the iPHONE/what is saved there for my phone?
