Harold:

I'll back up Peter here.

I have not used MS IE on a Mac since it repeatedly 
crashed my computer just having it on the hard disk 
in OS 9. That was strange: OS 9 was quite unstable
until I removed IE from the hard disk, then it became 
quite stable.

I now have a 10 year old Mac 7500 running OS X.2.8 and 
a newer Mac running OS X.4.2 (the latest). On the old 
Mac, Camino (Firefox tweaked for the Mac) does the best 
job of reading Unicode. On the new Mac, Apple's own 
Safari has become my browser of choice as it does the 
best job of rendering Unicode on all sites that I visited 
except http://www.cvkimball.com/Tanach/Tanach.xml 
which it completely messes up (Why is this site different 
from all other sites? Dunno.).

These are my personal experiences.

Karl W. Randolph.
