    Yeah, but I won't pay $130 to update it.

    Then you don't get the free web browser that Apple graciously supplies for users of their current operating system.

    It's simple. If you don't want to pay for what they're offering, that's your call. But you can't complain that you don't get the perks.

    Where does your sense of entitlement come from?

    ... 'session save' capabilities? Or, can we already do this with Safari, and I'm just clueless?

    What I'm talking about is that when you close Safari, it remembers all your current tabs, all your windows, all your sites, and then when you re-launch it, it restores the whole 'session' to the way it was ... I can't freakin' believe that browsers don't have this as a standard feature, but oh well.

    Guess I should just dl the source and whack it in there myself... trouble is, I'm not sure I haven't overlooked how to do this yet ...
