It still takes for ever to launch, but the render speeds make up for lost time.
I'm still using IE on my mac because with Mozilla after maybe an hour of surfing the program freezes for some odd reason.
What i don't get though is why IE on my PC and on a few other PC's gets so screwy too.
For example, www.cnn.com takes for fucking ever to render on IE 6 on my Win2k dual 866 but on mozilla it's near instant rendering.
BUT, for most sites IE 6 renders very fast. So why is it jsut CNN?
So freaking odd.
And then whats with the 'empty shell' bug?
I remember over at my friends house he'd start up IE (he uses Win ME) and you'd get the frame of IE, for example, the address bar and menu bar but smack dab in the middle where your home page or a blank page should be is a clear window to whatever is 'beneath' IE such as the desktop.
This is starting to happen on IE 6 on my pc at work too????
Whats up with that.
Anyway my friend couldn't fix the problem and now uses Netscape although I told him to switch to mozilla. And i'm wondering if i have to start doing the same.
i can't figure out what the dealeo is with this little quirk.
everything else works fine.
So its cnn and this display problem that makes one wonder just what the hell is going on!!!!!
One more thing: what is with the little icon in the address bar for mozilla? If you goto cnn yo get a little red cnn logo. Goto google, you get the google logo icon, and so on. Granted the stuffy uncreative pragamtic boring little fuckers some of you are who may think its a useless, I on the other hand like the attention to detail.
Thats all for now.

Just to explain what I mean: You see the way CNN is written in red letters in the above image? (hopefully the image loads). Well in the address bar to the left of the "http://www.cnn.com" you get a small icon with the red cnn logo.
Now when i drag my mouse over it the arrow turns into a 'glove' or hand which i can then drag the icon over the browser window or as to another browser like IE which would then start to load up in IE as well.

That's normal behavior, though I don't get the 'glove' you refer to. You using it on your Mac?

Mozilla is generally slower, and generally leakier, and generally less capable on extreme pages, and I can't abide by its UI at all.
"oh, but it has tabs!"

I could use the help files but am I to lazy to do that? Yes I am!

It's because that's what DuffMan used to make his hilarious DrPizza/RQE porno movie. Which was also teh win, in another way.

i believe on the mac the command is: "command shift a" or some such deal. I always forget.
There are two types for us, one with full screen capture and the other where you can select the area of the screen you want to capture with yer mouse. And then you hear a 'camera click' where you then get a .pict file saved in your root directory. (If memory serves me correctly).

so is that printscreen and then paste or will printscreen make a file like it does on the mac?
No, hitting Print Screen only stores it in the clipboard. You can then go into whatever paint app you prefer (MS Paint is usually stated cuz it's included in the OS) and do a Paste/ctrl-V -- then save the pic.
If you want to just capture a WINDOW instead of the full SCREEN, hit Alt-PrintScreen instead.
I usually use this method when I'm writing documentation with screen shots. If many many screen shots are required, I'd use a 3rd-party app that will do things like save the pics automatically to a folder, using incrementally-named files.

thanks for the input. Now one more question, what is 'tabs' that peter mentions?
Tue Jan 29 14:50:39 2002
It renders faster, appears to be stable, has a problem doing scrolling on large images, tends to be slower that way.
Is it a complete IE replacement for the MS platform? I don't think so, not yet. But it's gotten damn good lately.

Besides why can't Msoft make IE on mac fast? IE on the mac has some features that for some reason is lacking on the PC. That doesn't make sense to me at all.
For example:
1) Select a text in the browser and then drag the selected text to the address bar. This helps when you read an article that has a http address but no link. So just select the address and drag it to the address bar.
2) Select a link on a webpage and then drag it to the address bar and it'll take you to what the link points you too. I admit I have no idea why msoft would code this in but I'm assuming since you can drag text they figured they needed a seperate solution for dragging links.
3) YOu can drag pictures to the address bar.
4) You can open frames in seperate windows with 'right clicking'. Why doesn't IE on the PC have this?
5) IE on mac os x allows you to copy a link to the clipboard. Even better is that you can right click on an image and then copy the address of the image into the clipboard. Nice feature I don't see on Mac OS 9 IE and Win 2K IE.
6) You can use another browser and then drag the address or links right into the middle of an open IE window which then IE starts to load automagically. This drag and drop feature is pretty nice when you're doing a bunch of research and want to keep current content alive.
There is a whole bunch more where Msoft has created some really nice features (again the attention to detail which I like) that I don't see on the PC IE. Very odd. I wonder if part of it has to do with the 'drag and drop' paradigm in Mac OS versus Windows?
edit: i have a feeling i might have mentioned some features that are available on the PC version of IE. I'm just pulling this from memory, but I do know there are some differences in how IE handles stuff on mac and the pc.

So you can drag links and pictures to the address bar. Cool.
I was thrown of by the little 'circle and diagonal' image you get before you reach the address bar. Hmmmm....
How do you open a frame in a seperate window?

what the hey is IE powertoys? and linkage please.

They all say "IE 5 only, won't work on IE 6".
This is a lie.
Wed Jan 30 09:34:39 2002
I wish the PC version had it, it would be great for opening links that cant be directly linked to, like pr0n.
