Yeah, it's just that after 7.1 came out, Apple released a new version of Safari in which they broke this. And yes, we have worked around this by now.
BTW, Macs don't use Safari, they just come with it. Users use it - that's a conscious choice. As Albus Dumbledore said: "It is not our abilities that determine who we are, it is the choices that we make that do." I think that's a pretty good motto for a college student :^)

Bb claim full compatibility with Safari 1.2 (on OSX 10.3) and Safari 2 (OSX
