"You may be unlucky with websites. Every site I use regularly is fine with Safari - the only one I haven' t been able to use is Yahoo's Launchcast but it's not essential so I don't mind." Almost every secure work website of the three companies I am working with now will not allow me to use the intenet unless it is "disguised" and then I still have to use 2 different browsers.

"Clicking the green button will take them to full height and as wide as Mac OS thinks you need them." Excuse me, but why would Mac OS be the one to decide how wide I want the screens to be?? I actually started wearing glasses because of a previous job where I had to look at small digits all day. I don't my eyesight to get any worse because Mac OS won't resize the windows to the full screen! I might as well have gotten the 12" screen, because that is the biggest that the screens open up to in Mac!

"Not sure what settings you're talking about. If I ask the Finder to save things in Column View with small icons, it does remember that"

It doesn't remember how you may have resized it so you can actually see the entire document name in the view in column view. Column view seems to be the closest thing Apple has to explorer, and it just isn't the same.

I'm getting a thinkpad!
