I had an early problem with Safari after the Combo update. It was loading pages with many pieces missing (represented by blue squares with question marks) and the activity window reporting errors: ³bad server response² So after experimenting with my Network settings, I disabled Web Proxy and tried again, and Safari now works just fine but a tad slower without the Proxy turned on. The problem is that with Satellite Internet connection Web Proxy is pretty well standard. I¹ll keep trying new things... BTW: After playing with OS X 10.4 on a developer friend¹s G5 Dual, I can¹t wait for the official release of Tiger. This thing is huge! jg
