Default FDX/Problems with Safari and Snow Leopard?

Just got a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard installed and when I went to pfc I ran into some weird problems. Home page was normal but anything I opened from there was just a bunch of letters and numbers. I actually copied some for demo purposes but when I pasted it here, it was back to normal text. Everything's good with Firefox, just seems to be a Safari issue.
Anyone else run into this?

I do not have snow leopard yet but switch from PC to Mac is not going to happen overnight. You'll be really glad you made the switch but there will be a learning curve involved.

I assume you have downloaded Adobe and are Flash drive capable as well. Personally, I always use the Firefox web browser but I do hear the new version of Safari is pretty cool.

If you didn't already, get the Personal Training from Apple for $99 for a year. Totally worth it.

Take your employee badge to Apple for proof of employment and they have a Master Book of the participating companies and corporate discounts. Pretty simple.

It's not much but should at least cover the tax

This is even easier and includes the discount...

Welcome to the Apple Store - Apple Store (U.S.)

One of the Mac blogs I monitor said they were ending this program (so I hurried and purchased one for my wife about 6 months ago). If they haven't it's a great deal ... $99 for one lesson a week for a year ($2/lesson is pilot friendly).

I made the jump to Mac almost two years ago. One of the best decisions I've made in years. I'd get the $99 lessons too if I were you. I did and it's totally worth it.
