So, what about software purchases? Are you proposing that sales of boxed software packages will be axed too?
Until software manufacturers can guarantee that every paying customer is on broadband, they won't be switching to download-only solutions.
I for one like the experience of opening a new product an popping the shiny DVD into the drive. And I also don't want to rely on hard-drive only backups for my work. Backing up to DVD is far more robust. I have backups on CD going back 8 years that I don't want to have to transfer to a less permanent media.
If this happens, the first thing most users will be buying is an external disk drive. Saying that the media will be obselete doesn't suddenly make all the stuff I have on DVD unnecessary.
It's a terrible idea.
Having said that, I had to use Safari to register and log in to this site, as the submit buttons do not work in Camino.
Thankfully, quitting and relaunching Camino has cured the login problem. Working fine now.
My regular sites are all in one folder available from the bookmark dropdown menu, and all I choose is “open in tabs”, boom, 21 tabs spinning. Can the other browsers do that?
Yes, Camino and Firefox can.
Speed issues with Camino? I would suggest checking out the latest 1.0 alpha release. It is an extremely quick, competent browser. I would treat the VersionTracker comments with a hefty dash of salt. Having said that, I had to use Safari to register and log in to this site, as the submit buttons do not work in Camino.
That aside (and this is the first site on which I've encountered this problem), Camino is an excellent choice if you want the power of Gecko with a Mac-like look and feel (a far nicer Mac exprience than Firefox). IMO, by far the best looking browser available for OS X. Oh, and you can drag and drop tabs too.
