Apple OS Not Compatible with FCC Web

[Richard Kriss]

I agree with Bob Weller that the FCC should not be wasting our tax dollars
to support the beta Safari browser. Per the FCC it is not a browser issue.
The issue is with the Mac operating system and something to do with Java. I
really do not have a dog in this fight. The bottom line is if you need to do
some online business with the FCC use a coworkers PC that has Explorer 5.5
or greater. Don't waste your time with a Mac.

This has been an issue for several YEARS.  The
universal licensing system (ULS) requires a browser
plug-in, which ONLY works with certain versions of
Netscape for Windows.  It does work, albeit slowly, on
Netscape running under VPC.  Internet Explorer for the
PC, and all Mac Browsers simply aren't supported.

If you don't like it, write your congressperson.

IMHO, government agencies should not be spending my
tax dollars supporting Safari, since it is only in
beta.
