[G4] Apple OS Not Compatible with FCC Web

[Snoke Jay S NPRI]

All-
	I think we're missing the point here;  it isn't an OS issue.  It is a ULS capable browser/JAVA issue, plain and simple, and the Safari browser is in BETA.  Give Apple time - they've done what Microsoft doesn't do for the general public - they've given us *all* an opportunity to test and provide feedback with what is a potentially great software product that they are footing the bill on.  It's not going to be compatible with every web page everr created and may never be, but it will be another great Apple product when they go to v. 1.0.
