Nah, too much grief for my OCD brain.  Using Firefox at work and
Safari at home is about all I can muster.

I got screwed over about 2 weeks ago when Microsoft did a "patch" that
broke all of the Mincho fonts
used by Safari so all of my bookmarks and URL typing ended up looking
like Arabic.

Reseting Safari, re-downloading it, and even retreating to a system
restore didn't help.
I was fortunate enough to happen upon some Japanese guy's blog that
told me which one was the one
anally raping me without benefit of a reach around.  But then I was
callously prevented from uninstalling
it from the Control panel for some reason.  Ended up, I had to crack
open the spuninst.txt file to find out
what to do and remove the two font files by hand.

And they think I am going to go the Windows 7?!?  Not in the forseable
future.  Really should use my Mac
a bit more than I do now.
