An excellent illustration of why I use a Mac. I almost posted to that effect in the thread above, but I restrained myself, not wanting to start an OS war.

I did, however, want to comment on it to someone, thus this thread.

Just noticed: when I viewed this in the new OS X style, it didn't roll. OK in Classic CFC. Checked OS X again. Rolled a bit then stopped.

Hey, just noticed that Beamup and I both had 124 posts. Guess who got to 125 first?

 

[Beamup]

And guess who got to 130 first?

Uh-oh, I was afraid of that. Let's NOT get into a post count race. I shouldn't have started. I'd rather play the game. You ought to see what my Egyptians did to the poor Russians today. This morning the Russians were a lot bigger and stronger. Not any more.

Ah, I don't much care myself - just thought it would be cute to say it once. Kind of like you yourself did. I don't intend to think about it any more after this, if that's what you're afraid of.

Isn't this cute, counting posts are we. Well, mines bigger!

Seriously weird - they don't roll on my dual 800, even under 10.2 when I'm viewing the thread, but when I'm posting a reply they roll merrily along in the messages shown on the reply page under the text box. Fortunately, I prefer the Classic CFC style anyway.

Well, I don't know what you did. But, there not rolling now! Their all stuck on their side.

Well, I don't know what you did. But, there not rolling now! Their all stuck on their side. You know, it was at school that they were rolling, on my Toshiba laptop. Here at home on my mac - nada.

Just great - how many Toshiba users do you think will select that style? There appear to be other problems with the OS X style as well so I'm just going to avoid it.

Are you both on OS X (i.e. your operating system, not your forum style)?

I'm still on 9 (9.2.2. now -- Jaguar will arrive tomorrow morning!) and all throughout this discussion the heads have been merrily rolling away for me.

Ironic, isn't it? The OS X theme doens't work in OS X.

Internet Exploder. I'm going to switch to Chimera when it gets a little more polish -They roll there too.

Going slightly off-topic, I highly recommend Mozilla 1.1 to anyone interested in a superior Mac browser experience. Until Chimera matures, you won't find a better browser on the Mac - IMHO.

Where would I find Mozilla 1.1?

http://www.mozilla.org/

Basically Mozilla is the core open-source code for for Netscape -- or more accurately, the code is at the core of numerous browsers, of which Netscape and Mozilla (the browser) are the two most visible.

If you have Netscape on your computer you want to make sure that you make a separate User Profile for using Mozilla -- problems can occur if you try to share the same profile between a Netscape build and a Moz build.

Does anyone else use MultiZilla? I was running it for a while and really really liked the additional tab features it added, but it's still in process -- finally the bugs really started to get to me. Hoping the next build fixes the bigger ones...
