Saft users wait patiently for an update before installing newest Safari
Safari was updated earlier and so far it does seem Zippier™ on my testing rig. Like so many other Saft devotees, I dare not install the newest Safari on my "production" Macs, however, because the Safari update, like all that have come before it, renders Saft inoperable.I'm not too put out by this little setback, though. If history repeats itself, Hao Li will probably have an update ready tomorrow - if not sooner. And that promptness is just one of the many reasons that Saft owns a little piece of my shareware budget.
Anyone up for a wager? Whoever guesses the time/date closest to when the Saft update is posted (i'll take the time stamp on the h a o l i website RSS feed entry as a guide, for lack of anything better to use) will win a prize. As soon as I figure out what that prize will be, I'll let you know :) In the meantime... do it for the love of the game of chance!
UPDATE: All times will be considered EASTERN time unless explicitly stated otherwise.
UPDATE: Saft was updated at 4:15 AM ET, Aug 30 2005. Read all about it...

I haven't exactly run it through the wringer (do people say that? or am I mixing metaphors?) yet, but it seems to work. But yeah, there'll probably be an Saft update real soon. It probably wouldn'ta hurt me to just wait out the Safari update 'til then.. Um, 30 August 8:18 AM.
