Fixing Safari Broken by Mac OS X 10.3.6 Updater.
In our note on last week's Mac OS X 10.3.6 Updater, we mentioned that the update had hosed our copy of Safari v1.3 Developer Preview. Reader John O. suggested that we simply trash it and copy one over from another Mac. He said doing that had worked for him twice. Laurie Duncan, a professional Mac tech and proprietor of the excellent CubeOwner.com web site, suggested that we trash the application and the webkit.framework file, then reinstall Safari from a stand alone updater. We elected to do the latter since we didn't have another Mac handy at the time. The more complete process may also ensure that we don't have problems down the road. We downloaded Safari 1.2.0 from Apple's Safari web site and then ran the Mac OS X 10.3.6 Combo updater to bring it up to the latest v1.2.4. Safari now works fine on that Mac, a G4 Cube.
