Really? Show me all the software that was released for Jag-only when it first came out, then later supported 10.1?

Come on, the press had to brow-beat Apple for weeks before they finally agreed to just release a critical OS update for Jag...

When I bought Jag, I bought it with the expectation that 1) It would continue to be supported for more than *a year* and 2) that new software would continue to be released for it by Apple for more than a year.

I don't like being told that I have to upgrade my OS at full price *every year* just to be able to run new software. It's like what MS does, but much, much worse - even MS doesn't have the balls to tell new users that they have to upgrade every year.

Even if Apple had done what they did with iChat AV and offered the new software as a low-priced upgrade, it would be better than what they're doing now (and it's unclear whether iChat AV 2.1 will ever be released for Jag, even for users that PAID $30 for 2.0). Right now I have no choice but to buy their new OS.

I don't think Apple got "brow-beaten" and then "agreed" to release the update for Jag. I think it was more like, "Hold your horses, it's coming!" I think they had the security update in the works for Jag and people were just becoming impatient.

I do agree with you that Apple is moving towards a yearly update plan for their OS, though. And yes, it does seem like a forced upgrade, too, but many of my friends still use Jag and love it. They'll upgrade to Panther when they feel the need, but Jag works just fine for them and I doubt any of the security "holes" in Jag will be exploited to the point where they feel pressured to update.

Sure, $129 per year seems like a lot, but when you put it into perspective, you pay more for water and sewage in a year than you do for OS updates. I don't know about other cities, but here in Texas, we pay a measley $12 a month for water. That's $144 a year. I'd gladly pay $12 a month for the newest OS from Apple.

anyone has tried the Javascript for back function...
example : <a href="#" onClick="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go Back</a>

Safari still does not function accordingly...

All I know is Safari 1.2 + Panther 10.3.2 + Safari Enhancer + PithHelmet = the best surfing experience I've ever had.

If you do the back button in form method it works fine. Maybe your code is bad.

An example can be found at TwisterMc.com's Resources

the problem is... it works perfectly in IE and Netscape or Mozilla...

btw... the word 'javascript' should be in one word actually (without the underscore character)...

My Wishlist:
for the next upgrade for Safari, i wish they upgrade the mozilla engine to atleast 1.3
