I only use Firefox. Is the view of the VA Board much different with Explorer?

That's how I run it on my PC. Now that I am almost exclusively running on my Mac, I ran Firefox for a while but had to give it up. It was way too buggy; my mouse would disappear, and when I used the track pad to scroll up or down pages it would navigate back and forward in my history. Since I don't spend much time on the VA board, not having ad-block isn't as important.

I'm still waiting for the Safari ad-block plugin, though.

1.0.7 on my Mac.

The PC version has been flawless for me, but since I went Apple, my PC is a glorified jukebox. :lol:

Hi Hella. Preferring Macs to PCs is only natural, but that kind of talk is very grating for Dave. He's been hearing it from me for a long time. I love it.

I use Safari on my mac and haven't really had any problems. It doesn't block the spam at the top of the VA board, but it's not bad.

If he's only getting the Mac > PC from us, he's not getting it enough. :P

I'm one of the few Mac users who will admit to not knowing very much about computers. I know PC's much more, I ever work at my university's computer help desk.

I just prefer Mac's to PC's.

I also prefer Macs to PCs, but I do have a pretty good familiarity with both. I use both machines at work and have a computer science degree. Of course, I also have experience on vic20s, Apple IIs, Unix machines, TRaSh 80s, and a Vax.

I remember that game from back in the day. That was fun at the time. The first computer game I ever played was some pirate search game on the TRS Color Computer we had when I was in 5th grade (1980) and it was on a tape drive. My brother and I bought an Apple II+ in 1981 and bought Mystery House, Cranston Manor and a few others. We really got into Cranston Manor. I enjoyed Zork and the other Infocom games and Timeline was really cool. I don't really play computer or video games anymore, though.
