I'm not a Mac user. Nor do I ever think I will be. However, I'm turning towards it due to a program, designed for Mac by Apple and now for Windows too: Safari.
Safari, for those who don't know, is an internet browser. Not unlike Internet Explorer, only because Microsoft based the latest version on Safari, I think.
So, why is Safari so great? Well, there's a nice load of features that Microsoft never got.
Apple claim Safari is the fastest browser available. It is. My wireless router is supposed to send data to my computer at a rate of 54 Mbps (Megabytes per second), it usually doesn't. Sometimes, it drops to 48 or 36. But, if I'm really unlucky, it'll go for 1 instead. That's where Internet Explorer fails. Once the speed drops, it takes an eternity to load any page, even if it's been cached before.
Safari is fast no matter what. I ran on 24 Mbps the other day and was still as fast as IE can go on 54. Brilliant!
There's another excellent advantage for Flight Sim enthusiasts who, like me, enjoy some of the great freeware available on the internet. Safari's download speeds are far greater than IE, meaning files are downloaded a lot faster.
Another handy part of the downloading process is the Download window. It shows all downloads you have for that session, with details similar to each download dialogue in IE. Another good idea from Apple. It saves cluttering up the desktop when downloading multiple files. I've included a little screenshot of the download window so you can see what I'm talking about.
I really recommend taking a look at Safari, you won't be disappointed.
