Depends on what it means. If it means looking up the IP address in advance, it means little to me, as my caching DNS server does that. -- Wes Groleau Promote multi-use trails in northeast Indiana! http://www.NorthwestAllenTrails.org/
From: Glen Labah on 9 Jun 2010 03:47 For those of us still stuck on OS 10.4.11, this showed up as a system software upgrade to Safari 4.1. While it probably isn't the must earthshaking new feature, the built-in progress bar in the URL line is kind of nice when dealing with certain overburdened web sites. -- Please note this e-mail address is a pit of spam due to e-mail address harvesters on Usenet.

Of course this is most beneficial on small screen devices with limited user interaction options (where users scroll through rather than click around). This is probably the reason why Apple developed it. Now as an interesting side effect, it also acts as a sort of add blocker. I'm wondering how web marketeer will react to that once it becomes more popular and widespread (I do guess that Crome and Mozilla will come up with a similar functionality included soon). -- Georg Schwarz http://home.pages.de/~schwarz/ georg.schwarz(a)freenet.de +49 170 8768585

Very nice for coserving or distributing by email such articles. -- Georg Schwarz http://home.pages.de/~schwarz/ georg.schwarz(a)freenet.de +49 170 8768585
