    A freeware word processor to challenge MS-Word. Uh, sure. Now exactelly what is it that makes this Writely thingy any better than Open Office, AbiWord, or any of the DOZENS of office apps out there?

    Use Firefox! Much better than Opera and Safari-yes, I have used both, Opera for a long period of time and Safari on a few occasions, Firefox has proved to be superior to both.
