I've heard that OS X is kind of a pain in general. I'm a PC guy, so that's out of my realm of expertise.

I respect the Mac folks, though. I've thought about buying one to see how they work for me. Those G4 Titanium notebooks look quite tasty.

I've got a Powerbook G4, with OS X, if you ever decide you wanna play with it.

OS X rocks in general. It's got some quirks still but it's probably the best OS I've ever used.

IE5.1, though, is still a preview release. Not even a beta. *sigh*. It doesn't render LJ comments pages correctly - even if there's more than one comment, it only displays one. And rumour has it, it doesn't work with Hotmail, either. (Go figure.) So I've been using OmniWeb, and it renders most everything correctly. Generally, what one browser b0rks up, the other one will display. :)

Just be happy you don't spend 50 hours a week trying to write code that works in every browser on every platform. It can get frustrating.

The hotmail issue is a laugh. But they're not the only ones. I still test on Netscape 4.03 for Windows, and the default page they send you to over at home.netscape.com brings up massive JavaScript errors.

Haven't we invited you over yet? Come have dinner with Julie and I some night. I'd love to see your toys.

No, you haven't invited me over. I'd definitely love to come, though.

And once I get the new place, I'll have you two over, too. :)

And hey, I'd be willing to help you out in terms of browser testing, as well. I am the ultimate whatever-tester - I can make anything break! ;)

Oooh... if you play your cards right, you could join the elite (or shall I say "|33+") group who has seen juliecam.net in progress. I'm still ironing out the code, so breaking it would not be a challenge :)

*grins* Well, the offer's there. :)

I haven't seen you since Courtney's party....definately you must come over. =)

I know, I was thinking about that myself. I didn't want to assume, though, that you'd wanna hang out with me. (Did I mention I'm shy?)

But I've missed seeing your smiling face anyway. :)
