Re: Missing "Internet" Systems Preference Panel

Ron Southerland
I concur with all (including Joel West in your Reader Report) that Apple's exclusion of an Internet pane is a mistake and a major inconvenience. Having to set my default browser as well as homepage in Safari--as well as having to discover that I had to do that--(when I was using Camino as my default) was no fun.

Finally, having read elsewhere that the old Internet pane still works in 10.3, I used Pacifist to extract that pane from the big combo 10.2.8 update. I moved that to /Library/PreferencePanes and it instantly showed up in 'Internet & Network' in System Preferences, from which the (for me) useless .Mac pane had vanished.

So now I can set my default browser, e-mail client and home page in one convenient place. But that's the way Apple should have done it in the first place.

Instead of going to all that hassle, get this instead:

It works quite well.

Thanks, this is a nice little app (got a rave review in Macworld as well)
