have posted a clear and compelling article about why MSN doesn’t work with Opera. If correct, it is clear that MSN is intentionally sending Opera 7 (and no other browser) a version of the stylesheet that is intentionally broken. Nice.

at Macworld has been over for a while now; they unveiled some very interesting things today. Most interesting to me in the short term is Safari, Apple’s new browser. As well, an Apple-born X11 system which is interesting to folks from the Unix world, a super-sized 17″ Powerbook and a super-small 12″ Powerbook as well. Jobs understands that the middle ground in laptops is cluttered - either end of the spectrum is where the good stuff lives. Also: 802.11g is being called Airport Extreme, they have released Jobs’ own pet software, Keynote, and some other stuff.

Maybe some of the huge announcements of past Keynotes were missing, but I like this one anyhow. It has that feeling of taking care of business.

for Mac was finally released the other day. It’s still not as good as Netscape for certain things, but it’s much better in many ways. For me a browser is an aesthetic choice. If it’s jerky at loading images, it’s inferior. Netscape has always been far better at displaying things smoothly.

[after more time] OK - I’m almost totally convinced. All I need to do is learn a bit more about personal stylesheets (can I set one up so that textarea boxes etc. are in mishiwaka 9 pt?) and I’m done with Netscape.
