Safari Browser for Windows
Some time back I posted about "Alternative Browsers" for Windows. At the time I gave plaudits to Opera, and I still do. I also tried, and have used intermittently, Flock (a Firefox-based browser), Chameleon (on the boys' older computer running ME), in addition to Opera, Firefox, and (every now and then for kicks) IE. Opera really is the quickest, and seems to have better compatibility now with Google apps like "Docs" than it did when I first tried it.
The one area, however, that Explorer continued to be superior in my opinion was in its rendering of fonts. They just looked cleaner, sharper, and overall better with IE than in any other browser. Until now. I just downloaded Apple's Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows, and I love the way this page looks in it! The fonts are very much like IE, but it's not IE! Safari seems to have some other interesting features which I haven't checked out yet, but I had to go ahead and comment because I so much like the way the internet looks with it. Worth checking out.

You're right, Kelson! This looks so much better than what I was getting from Opera before. I haven't checked Firefox yet, but I'm sure that will look better too. Thanks a bunch!
