[iBook] iBook1.2GHz & the beach ball

[Angus Wallace]

I think Firefox is probably a better browser than safari, although I  
use safari almost exclusively because it seems more responsive. I  
love the RSS stuff in safari.

I think Firefox is much snappier on Linux than Mac. (can't speak for  
Win).

cheers,
