Well friends, just thought I'd let you know...For about the last three years that the MSNBC web site has been up, I've noticed that they blocked Mac users for a time.
I just went there in Safari and clicked on a live video link, thinking it wouldn't work. Well, Safari has problems loading the Windows Media Plug-in anyways but loaded the file just fine in the program. Thinking it was program related, I launched IE and alas it worked inside the program!
They're now supporting Mac users surfing their web site. I guess they thought that if ABC is touting the fact that their ALIAS stuff works, why not do the same for Mac??
Check it out; it's a very good recap of the day's news in case you miss Nightly News like I do all the time!

Note: if the link doesn't work, go to the main page (www.msnbc.com) and scroll down to where it says Quick Links and then Free Video.
