I know this isn't news for anyone doing web development, but I've started working on a web application with a complicated UI.
OMG! I hate Internet Explorer, is there anything that doesn't have to be special-cased for it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Are you gonna use XML on the client? There's some XML stuff that's specific to IE. (Which I realize is not the question you asked.)

Mostly using GWT toolkit and Javascript, there's XML involved but I'm not using it directly.

Once IE9 gets released there are going to be many, many websites that will be telling IE6-8 users that they need to upgrade to have the best user experience. I get the hype over HTML 5 now, it's going to change the game on what you can do with a browser. If I had the time, I'd like to try to the port of Quake II to HTML 5, that's just too cool.

I can't wait for iE9 - mostly because our mega-complex timesheet system is IE-only (at client's request) and Javascript performance is supposed to be greatly enhanced. (Currently, IE is much slower in Javascript than other popular browsers.)

IE9 sounds like it might actually be good. Microsoft seems to be realizing it can't determine the standards the Internet will use.
Right now I'm using Chrome at work which is nice, and Firefox 4 at home since Chrome doesn't let me fine-tune the settings. I've got Firefox 4 running off a SSD with RAM-only caching. It is quick like a quick thing. Chrome doesn't seem to let me free itself of the disk and I really don't want it caching to my SSD.

Bonnie, do you have an OSX boot install CD/dvd?
If so, You can boot up and instead of the install, one of the tools in the menus is a password reset utility.

Thanks Daniel. I've been looking around for the same guidance and have tried to boot from my Tiger install disk and it just hasn't worked. I must be hitting the c at the wrong time or something.
Seriously, I tried so many times this afternoon, I was nearly to the point of throwing things...and I'm not a thrower.
The way my office is set up, it's a trial to unhook the monitor and keyboard, switch to the second tower, have my attempts fail, replace the cords, cruise the 'net for help...re-reattach the cords and have more attempts fail.
It really got to me, so I took a few hours off. I'll print out your link and try again in the morning.
Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it.

Bonnie, hold C just after you turn it on.
