Help W. Mac
« on: June 08, 2008, 03:30:38 PM »
I just purchased my first Mac, and everything is great so far, aside from one problem I have with America Online.  I am unable to use the aol search, view photos in mail or member information.  all that I get is a blank page with an asterick in the top left corner.  Anyone else have this problem, or know a fix?

Honestly, you should dump AOL and use something else

Cav, I use Safari.  AND many others say Firefox is the way to go.  I don't use AOL.

Dump AOL and the Mac.    :rofl

I agree but Mac gets all Judo secret squirrel on you when you try to hit him with a sledge hammer. He's awful spry for his age.

I use Firefox most of the time.  No problems with anything.  Don't know nuttin' about AOL. :)  You can always do the Bootcamp thingy and run under windows.  I've been playing around with that a little bit.

I'm currently trying to get AH2 running on my Macbook.  Framerates are reasonable once I get in game, but the log in windows are slightly problematic.
