Forum: Almost Anything

I've been having a problem viewing GIF images on my web browsers whether IE, Firefox or Google Chrome. As a result, I cannot see most of the videos on the Golf Channel or see, for example, the ads on Ottawa Golf.com. Instead of the GIF images the particular screen displays is filled with red. This...

So, with the switchover to a mac, there's a few things for me to get used to again. I've been having some trouble with Safari (5.0.1), namely that many of the drop down menus are not working properly.

I've been living in Ottawa for a year now, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to play some hockey this winter. I haven't played hockey for the past 5 years, and I miss it a lot.
