" Hi, Mike
Hot off the presses is a release of a G5-optimized Firefox 1.0.2 build. This was created from the Firefox 1.0.2 source and should be identical to the release version with some slight UI differences (icon and form widgets).

It sounds like this is a highly recommended update due to some nasty security holes that have been fixed.
Thanks for spreading the word!

I've added previous this to the previous page here on Firefox G5 builds and tests.

This was the first time I had actually seen one personally and I liked the screen size and overall quality. If it had more storage, it would be an attractive alternative to an iPod Photo (using PSPware to Sync Photos, Movies, etc. using an OS X Mac).

" I bought a Dell 2405FPW Wide Screen 24 inch LCD Display (1920x1200), and I am very happy with it. I can't compare it to an apple screen, since i don't own one.
The advantages over the Cinema Display are it's numerous interfaces: vga, dvi, composite, s-video, component. There is also a built-in USB-hub, and even a 9 in 1 flash card reader. (vga-, dvi, and usb cable are included)

With it's 24 inches, the screen is slightly bigger than apples cinema display, therefore the unit pixels must be a little bigger.
There are no dead pixels on the screen, and the screen is very bright.

In conclusion, the 2405FPW is a nice alternative to the 23 inch Cinema Display. The price is listed as 1139 US-$ on the Dell website, though I read somewhere that there are some coupons around to get it much cheaper. (Mine was 1350 swiss francs (about 1000$))

Extremetech has a Review of the Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW Widescreen LCD that includes several display tests and rated it highly. A less technical review of it is also at Jaded gamer.com.
