New browser for the Mac

The Mac users among us ("the few, the proud") may be interested to know 
about the web browser announced by Apple yesterday at MacWorld. Called 
"Safari", it is only for OSX users (10.2 is required, but 10.2.3 will 
provide the best performance). I've only just recently downloaded and 
installed it, but so far their claims of snappy performance appear to 
be true. It is quite fast, seems to display most pages I've so far 
visited quite well, and even helped me snag a bug in my code that 
Explorer mistakenly forgave me for. So, although it is still only a 
"public beta", my advice to OSX 10.2 users is to run, don't walk to 
http://www.apple.com/safari/ and get it. It's at least worth a solid 
review, and the price is right (free).
