[Tim Morton]

[John Lohmann]

It could be the Manny Ramirez virus.

Tim....just as long as their webpage ain't dashing your hopes!:eek::D

[Mike Cutler]

It's not a "Mac Thing" Tim. I have the page opened right now in both a Safari and firfox simultaneously on a 17" 1st generation, 1ghz ,G4 Powerbook. I can try in on my G5 desktop if you'd like.

Sure is a lot of info on the Yankees there for a Red Sox page.

[Tim Morton]

I think there is something loading on the page that is causing it...let me go check again. Its been my home page for 5 or 6 years...

[Tim Morton]

still crashing...i have get to the boston.com OK, but clicking on the red sox page hangs....

[Mike Cutler]

There is an animated pop behind trying to load. I closed it the first time before it could load, and it hasn't tried again. There is also a Mini Cooper add that is animated loading, along with a Warcraft Banner that could be messing with you.

The Patriots cheerleading tryouts on the Pat's page works good though.:D

Turning off JavaScript solved the problem...i'll see what i am missing with that off for awhile...

Which OS version are you running? and perhaps you need to run the Software Update to update the JavaScript. Then again, maybe I shouldn't run an update.
I'm running 10.4.11.

[Tim Morton]

I am running 10.5.6, and there are no updates. I think its a website issue, since i get the same problem with firefox and safari. Maybe i should download another browser...

How do you like the Leopard OS? I've been thinking of upgrading my desktop, but I don't know if the older dual 2.0 ghz processor would be able to really benefit from the upgrade.
My 17" Powerbook is at it's max pretty much with with Tiger. I was eyeballing the new Powerbooks last week in Providence. Nice, very nice,

Just ordered one myself. Should be here on wednesday. Looking forward to getting it up and running and saying adios to the Acer (hardware is crap and the warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on, and it's not even printed on paper:mad:). I started on macs when they were still called apples. Moved to PC because apple software back then was like buying porno (not that I buy porno :rolleyes:). It was all tucked away in a dark back corner of the shop covered in an inch of dust.

Got a nearly new Acer Aspire 8920 for sale if anyone wants one... Did I mention Acer is crap :D... Not doing myself any favours on attracking potential buyers am I ;).

I love leopard, I use "spaces" and it keeps things organized for me...if i want to have 5 windows open in an application, i can uses spaces to switch to a different app and it hides those 5 windows until i need them. Plus i use time machine to back up and i love the new view option that shows me huge previews when i am looking thru a folder. I would hang on for another month or so as i think snow leopard (10.6) is being released soon.
