Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

An interesting discussion regarding Macintosh Internet browsers has been brewing in Todd Stauffer's MacBlog. Some of us are a bit concerned about the future of Mac browsers, especially in the light of recent news that Microsoft will no longer be developing Internet Explorer for the Mac operating system--while others are very excited about the prospect of switching over to Apple's Safari browser full-time. I've recently had a great deal of trouble with all the browsers on my Mac, including Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, iCab, and Internet Explorer. Most of the browsers either crash, freeze up my system, or simply don't render many websites correctly. Internet Explorer 5 has been the only relatively stable browser in my arsenal, but even that has a knack for crashing at the most inopportune moment.
This is not to say that all Mac browsers are crap. I'm still using the old and rapidly-becoming-ancient 9.1 Mac operating system, and haven't yet delved into the world of modern OS X browsers such as Safari, Omniweb, Camino, or Mozilla Firebird, so I really can't say much about the "latest and greatest" crop of web viewers. Still, with Microsoft abandoning Apple, and with Apple taking over the browser business on the Mac side, I fear that us Mac users will be left with a substandard and murky window on the World Wide Web, reminiscent of the days of IE 4.5--an era in which I'm certain many Mac users invested in PCs solely for their Internet browsing. Hopefully Safari will turn out to be the saviour that IE 5 turned out to be, and since it's Apple's own, maybe it will be around a bit longer. What do you think?
