January 22, 2006. I ordered a new Mac the other day. Pretty much my dream computer: an iMac Intel Core Duo, with dual 2.0GHz processors, a 20” display, a 500GB hard drive, 2GB RAM, and 256MB VRAM. And I’m dying to get my hands on it. Problem is, when you get the 500GB hard drive… It takes 3-4 weeks to ship. Needless to say I’m a bit anxious.

Its support for extensions and themes make it the most customizable browser available, an area where I’d love to see others step up to the plate. But in the Mac world, Firefox has a lot of problems.
