downloads with safari

I suspect it is the usual Microsoft 'embrace and extend' attitude towards standards that threaten them. Safari's Java implementation is true to Sun, and Microsoft's is non standard, but more prevalent. Therefore, some Java things will work under IE or Windows, but not under non-Microsoft-approved browsers such as Safari.

The Moog site has been like this for ever since the redesign. I doubt they'll fix it because the menu widget feels like a modified, off the shelf thing, rather than something custom coded.

I would not mind if there were an alternate way to access the downloads secton, but you HAVE TO use the java thing (or know the direct URL)

When I got OS 1.5, I downloaded it from Rudi's site.

Jazzed about the update, but seriously bummed about local panel mode, unless I'm missing something. I was envisioning an interesting performance piece controlled from the Voyager front panel for the upcoming Analogue Heaven North East meeting. On the bright side, I think I'm going to attempt to organize a big polyphonic Voyager for the event.

Safari has issues that are not related to Microsoft, sad to say.

I am a Mac Developer and some of Apple's web pages don't work with Safari. Fo example, the Hardware Purchase Program pages, where you can buy discounted hardware doesn't work with Safari. So don't complain. Camino is a nice browser, by the way, that is Moog friendly. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/

Thanks for the new OS. Awesome!!!!!
