running 1024 x 768 px. average screen size. the buttons must look smaller because of the screenshot.

No, there just so small! What screen res are you using?

P.S. Still considering the name for that offer . . . mabey nolo?

dylan: my firefox install is standard. the buttons are no different from any other install. if you’re referring to the fact that the ‘forward’ and ’stop’ button as being inactive? that might be something to do with the screenshot utility that i was using.

Why do your firefox buttons look like that?

jon: not sure why it wasn't showing. feedburner is showing the post if you click on 'subscribe' in the drop down shelf. maybe update your feed if you didn't get the feedburner feed before i updated. as far as an ie version to safarishots, you might want to check out browsershots.

Yeah, it showed up a little while later. Strange.Browsershots is weird, there's a queue/waiting time. I realised that I had Virtual PC lying around, so I've just installed XP on my iBook. It runs pretty horribly, but it's good enough to fulfill my needs. I must go install IE7 now.

dylan: ie7 ain’t so shabby. i wish the links to external links would open in new tabs rather then new windows. not a big deal since i don’t use the browser as a main browser.

Also, I meant to say: is there an IE equivalent to Safaritest? There should be. I’ve read so many people saying the main reason they want to run XP on their Mac is so they can test their site designs in IE.

For some strange reason, this post isn’t showing up in your RSS feed!

I had no idea until that screenshot that your site had a favicon (I turn them off in Safari). I’d love an iMac too–I’m slowly convincing myself I need one i.e. I don’t, but gosh they are beautiful. I just saw the first videos of Half Life 2 running on an Intel Mac, which is a selling point too.
