(except for implying i visit lawless websites)Sorry about that; it demands clarification... "Lawless" was not meant to be taken literally, rather I used it to label those sites, social networking, torrent, porn, et al, that are known to be "drop boxes" for the sort of stuff that Security Updates address as well as other "bad" stuff.

I'm just trying to encourage all readers (you and others) to adopt the healthy practice of keeping current with OS versions and security updates.And I'm questioning the importance of not only the Security Update aspect of your post, but of your premise in general.
It is, perhaps, healthy, but, as I've pointed out, hardly necessary to jump on Security Updates, and what's so all-fired important about keeping current with OS X in general?
I've not run across even a single reason to regret never having run Tiger, and I don't feel any differently about Snow Leopard so far. (It's most useful feature, in my eyes, anyhow, is its compactness, and I have taken advantage of that to install it on an 8Gb flash drive.)

I use the drop down menu (off the back-arrow key) to "snapback" several times a day. Have you even tried the menu method yet? [it's hard to tell, but it doesn't sound as if you have. The difference is so minuscule that there's no way you would get this worked up about it.] EDIT: either way, your pronouncement that Safari 4 has "NO" snapback is simply inaccurate. It has a slightly different snapback feature, that's all.I haven't tried the "menu method," because I wasn't aware of it, and now that I am, I'm not certain how it works; I'm open to change, and clarification will be appreciated and
may even be catalytic.

"slightly different snapback feature" a new feature or merely a resurgence of a Safari 2 feature that was perhaps meant to have been upstaged by SnapBack.

Besides being blissfully unaware of which thread you've posted in [....]I'm fully aware of both which thread I'm posting in and that it was you who prompted me to post with

[...] you are missing out on some fun technology....none of which I even covet, let alone need; heck, I probably wouldn't even have a computer if my daughter hadn't knocked on my door one day and handed me a leftover PowerMac.
(To give that a bit of perspective I'll mention that I wear a mechanical watch, I write with a fountain pen, and, although I use a phone with a memory for dialing, I have an old rotary-dial job that does the ringing.
