As a long standing Mac user I have used whatever browser was available that gave good consistent and reliable browsing. I know that a lot of you use Windoze PC's but Safari have released an updated version of their Browser that has been highly acclaimed by both PC and Mac Internet Forums.
I'm sure that like you all, I started off with IE. I then tried Navigator, Opera, Firefox and Safari. I have found Safari to be very stable so far and will use it 99% of the time, sometimes switching to Firefox.
It would be interesting to see what the majority of you use, I can guess that it would be IE, and if that is the case, why not try the latest Safari browser and see how you get on.

Glad to see you haven't wasted your later years Bri, and have gone back to College to study Double Dutch.. Good man... 
I'm sure you'll get some 'interesting' replies to this post, but thought i'd start it off with my own personal experience...
I went to Tesco first, then went to my next door neighbour (300yds away) to plug the ferkin thing in.. the rest is history....

I use IE7 but also have Firefox onboard, which I am still 'exploring'
(The trial version of IE8 doesn't work with my homepage; iGoogle)
I'll have a gander at Safari.
I've had zero problems with Vista. The sidebar is good, as I can have my eBay, the weather, National Rail etc which is very handy.

Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari, Netscape on the PC. Each has plus and minus points... |

The only double tap you know is when there are two Guiness pumps next to each other  You must mean beats (they are the things conductors hide from the Viola players). NECK ON BULGER!

Oops sorry.. Forgot you were 'New Age' RMB....
In the good old days, we 'tapped ' everything.. Tom G for a tenner, etc...
Roy Hallin for a disaster....
And we didn't have viola players, only those who were confused by the size of a cello, and too fat fingered for the fiddle. (Taphs seemed to excell on viola mind you). Webber and Roberts spring to mind....

Brian, I always use Firefox on the PC, I've found it to be very good. However as others have stated, there are some anoying bits and pieces.
