Hello
It was probably the browser or browser version that made the 
difference. The new standard for making web pages XHTML is supposed to 
make all web pages look the same no matter what Operating system or 
browser you are using. But most websites are nowhere near compliant. If 
you look at a page that is optimized for Explorer with Navigator it 
will load completely differently some tags will not load at all even on 
the same computer. Because of the Mac's early adoption by schools there 
are many people (Mostly in PC sales or PC maintenance ) that love to go 
around showing you how things work better on a PC. Good Luck Chris


Someday you will find that there is a difference between wanting and 
having.
