I use Firefox and Thunderbird on the PC, and plan to get my first Mac once Tiger comes out in a couple of weeks. Considering that both Firefox/Thunderbird is available for Mac I was simply going to switch to the Mac version of these apps for a simple/smooth transfer. However.... I've changed my mind for email and plan to switch to Mail on the Mac instead of Thunderbird, mainly for the Mac look 'n' feel and the Spotlight search facility. That got me thinking about using Camino instead of Firefox, to keep the Mac look 'n' feel across all apps. However I like Firefox so much that I think I'd only really switch over to Camino if the following features are added. 1. Add Spotlight to Camino. Eg so bookmark names and cached webpages show up in a Spotlight search. 2. Add support for .Mac sync, same as for Safari. Can't think of any other Mac-specific incentives that would tempt me over the platform independent Firefox but there's probably others. I'd be interested in hearing other people's opinions about how Camino and Firefox compare (and Thunderbird and Mail for that matter)... Cheers, Ant
