Latest safari and firefox browsers are great, but I cannot view th FPR or Lido or certain expense report items, not sure if any other mac users have experienced this problem, but if you own a new mac with the intel chip and have a copy of windows xp your golden. To view the green screen you also have to run windows with IE and the support software as well.
Apple has great support and I would buy the extended warranty, but one would figure if the mac is so trouble free why is there always a line at genius bar in every apple store I visit .
As others have said can't beat a mac for movie making, music, photos, ipods or building websites. Hey the U.S. Army is going big time to the mac just for the hacking problems with windows!
I too have had a problem viewing the FPR using Firefox, but I haven't had any problems with the Lido FIV or expense report. On Lido I choose the charts I want and then print them as a PDF, then view them in Preview.It works great.
