Well, that explains a lot! Thanks for the link, Mike.

I hope this isn't one of those questions that raises hackles (such as
Mac-vs-PC or Quark-vs-PageMaker-vs-InDesign), but can anyone tell me what
other browsers might be less problematic? Does Firefox has the same memory
problems? Decent compatibility? (I still keep IE5 for the few websites that
won't work on Safari.) Is there a better browser?

I'm on a 600Mhz G3 dual-USB iBook running OS 10.3.9.

Thanks, 
Joy
