| Trying to convert my wife... As I had mentioned on my previous threads I have a mac loaner for about a year. Would like my wife to fall in love with it to help justify us buying our own. :-D Anyway, here is what my wife uses on the PC: 1) Yahoo Messenger (got it for Mac) 2) Upload baby pics to website (will find something for Mac) 3) Email (dur...) 4) Browsing (got her on FireFox for Mac) 5) PrintShop (for calendars, greeting cards, red-eye removal, etc) 6) Few on-line games And that's about it! So, I got them all except number 5. I bought her PrintShop but would like something as good or better for the Mac. I know I could buy it again but since this is a loaner computer I am trying to keep my costs down. Thanks! cb  |

| One thing you might like to be aware of is that Yahoo! Messenger is a joke on the Mac platform. It's about four revisions behind the Windows release. It will really be a step backward for most people. It also crashes regularly (but only when using webcams)

| For Yahoo!, you'd be better using Adium (http://www.adiumx.com/faq.php) it's soooo much better than the Yahoo! client and has the bonus of working with Yahoo!, MSN AOL etc, simultaneouly over multiple, or a single, account(s)

| Adium might be a good replacement for Yahoo Messenger. It's multi protocol, so MSN, ICQ, Yahoo and AIM all work in one app. What's wrong with Safari? Or are you using an OS version that won't run Safari?

I don't have anything against Safari...just never used it. I ditched IE for Windows about a year ago for FireFox and haven't looked back. So, my natural instinct was FireFox for the Mac. What are the pros/cons for Safari vs FireFox? Quote:
