    Hello fellow golfer/clickers,

    Just a short message on my experience with browsers and this game as a Mac dude (since 1987 btw)  who now possesses the new 27" iMac, LED, duo-core 3.05 cpu, 4 gigs RAM, Terabyte HD,  ATI Radeon HD 4670,  SnowLeopard 10.6.2.

    Just tried Chrome-for-Mac  -  Not good at all. In fact worst of the bunch I've tried....beginning with horribly slow loading time and then follows up with an even WORSE swing meter than I have been getting lately,  if that were possible.

    Works well on these three for me: Camino (the best by a hair) ,  Firefox (great browser for anybody/anything) ,  and a new one called SeaMonkey (works great just don't care that people might find out I'm using a browser called "sea monkey" )  ;)

    Now,  I've heard and read from folks using "Parallels" and installing all the Windows based apps, programs, and games are having a very successful time of doing it.  One buddy even told me his old Windows stuff "runs better on the Mac".  That is one of the seeds for a flame war to be sure....so  PLEASE,  once again as in another post,  that is NOT my intention here at all.....because I am a fan of all three platforms,  Apple, Windows,  and Linux.  I've had to work with all three being in the graphics/sign industry for decades so I just was the recipient of a lot of good training.

    So,  there's my .o2 on the whole matter of browsers for Mac.  gl, cheers, cU round the links.

    ~G.
