Safari has better compatibility.

Camino has print problems (application crash) when trying to print. I  
also found a problem with the webpage for downloading Game Agent :  
instead of downloading the file as a file, it downloads it as a  
webpage.....

I don't use IE5 because of fond memories of it running on MacOS 8.x  
and being so VERY slow.....!
