BTW - if Safari is so slow - why is it so lauded on the Mac? When IE 1 and IE 2 were bundled with PC's, people just used Netscape - because it was better. People only started to use IE again when it caught up in terms of speed and features. It was this fact that caused Microsoft to sit up and take heed. We wouldn't have the likes of Firefox, Opera etc, if the market hadn't been made so competetive by the users. |
If you want to make hot corners (sorry I said hot keys in my original post) with Expose you just go to System Preferences and select Expose. You have the option to set the 4 corners of your screen to "Active Screen Corners." This is in my opinion the way that Expose was supposed to work.
Here another cool but useless trick. Minimize an application into the Dock. While holding down the Shift key click (with your mouse) in the Dock the application that you minimized.
I really don't think Safari is slow. It still has a few bugs that need to be worked out but it is coming along fairly well. It hasn't been around very long at all. It was introduced January 2003 and even then it was in Beta form. I think it was introduced as a full 1.0 in June or July of 2003. That makes it a very young program.
One poster already mentioned that it does what it does and it does it well. Tabbed browsing, pop-up blocker, easy bookmarking and the right balance of features make it a very nice browser. If you want a crappie browser try IE for Mac
Is you sister having a problem with eBay by chance? Recently they did an update to their site and something "broke" with Safari. I don't know if the issue ever got resolved. Basically when trying to do a search the spinning beach ball would come up and take forever to go away.
