The bottomline is that the JPEG files that I downloaded were completely unexceptional. Everything worked as expected. I used the lastest AOL client for MacOS X. I am running MacOS X 10.3.5. If I were a betting man--and I'm not--I would bet that your problem lies between your keyboard and your chair.



    You downloaded JPGs from AOL to your desktop and you doubleclicked on the JPGs and they opened up in Preview?



    Well, they dont open up that way on my computer. I have to open them up using AOL. Preview tells me that it is in a file or format that it doesnt understand or is corrupted.



    I am running the latest version of Panther.

    safari for my macs i'm a loyal mac guy

    business requires me to have a pc (dell) i upgraded to 7.2 i like the toolbar but lost the separate search button they force you to use netscape search i prefer google, 7.1 gave you the option, lost this and the weather gizmo slowed down my computer and made my cursor jittery



    i wish there was a safari for pc, i love the pull down folders for my bookmark bar, very cool and easy to use, i wish 7.2 had it for my pc

    Reread my previous post. I explained to you what to do. If you can't read, stop complaining.

    Shouldn't your focus be on the content of the web page rather than the browser?

    There's Safari 2.0 coming out with Tiger, by all accounts.

    Well, the browser aids the internet experience, or could hinder it. I find Safari lacks some useful features and tends to hang too much on some pages.



    I hope Safari 2.0 fixs some of the problems. I will definitely give it a shot, thanks.

    btw, do you mean "lies, stick or bend between?" Man, you've got a funny tongue



    back to topic: Safari rules here, though. Somebody complained about Safari UI. I can not follow this. Safari got the cleanest Interface of all Browsers.

    Safari gives you just what is needed, plain and simple, and fast, and reliable. IMHO of course.



    best

    I've used Netscape 7.2 for a few weeks now and find is does seem to run a little faster than Safari, but not a whole lot faster. It does have some quirks, however. Sometimes, just moving the scroll wheel on my mouse send the page to the very bottom. I haven't experienced this on IE or Safari. Right now, Safari is my primary browser. For some reason though, it doesn't seem to like AT&T ISP setup. Has anyone else had this experience?

    safari is best and easiest, i love the folders on the bookmarks bar

    also i have found NE 7.2 unstable(on my dell pc) it locks up and i have to reboot several times a day so i moved to

    mozilla firefox---for my pc it is way cool, downloaded some extra themes and is stable



    my only problem with firefox on pc is when i try to "send" a page. i still use net for my mail, it pauses, hangs then IE opens about 80 pages for which i have to close all manually then do a cut and paste in my mail

    i rarely use nets mail, prefer my adelphia webmail to avoid spam and hazardous emails and i can access it anywhere

    if mac mail could allow all my regular emails to be sent there i would use mac mail



    I am very satisfied with safari and mail i wish they made for the pc market. which is ripe for getting away from IE.



    i wish i had an easy way to import my netscape address book to firefox then go to thunderbird mail
