What experience are you referring to?  I installed the Safari 6 update 
yesterday, but my MacBook is incapable of running the new kitty, and I've 
noticed that it doesn't seem to work well with some sites - i.e. you can't 
arrow thru the text you've typed in some text fields, on sites like Blind Mice 
Megamall, wen you search for movies in the vault, you sometimes need to turn VO 
off and back on again to see the headings which have displayed, etc.

        For the time being, I've downloaded & installed Google Chrome, which 
seems to work pretty well with VO, although I've not been able to set 
Web-spots, a Sweet-spot, can't label web items with the labeler function, etc.  
Other problem I've had with it is when trying to use the settings page of 
Chrome, it has a tendency to get the "busys".

        I've bought Lightning but haven't used it much, Shiira (newest version) 
doesn't get along with VO as it promptly crashes, and not sure what other 
browsers work well with VO?  I just know, for some of the stuff I do, for the 
moment, at least, I need a viable alternative to Safari till these issues get 
worked out, as I just don't have the bucks lying around to rush out and grab a 
newer MacBook, just so I can run MT Lion, although if I did, you know I would! 
LOL  Some of these features, like Dictation, Power Nap, Reminders and 
Gatekeeper all sound really intriguing!  Kinda feels weird not being able to go 
get the newest cat, ya know?

Take care,

Ron
