Hello!
As some of you may know, I'm a big fan of Macs. They work well, are spyware / virus resistant, plus they're based on Unix, so I basically end up with a very functional Unix workstation that can also run Word, Excel, etc. To put things in perspective, my other laptop is a Linux workstation and I don't have any dedicated Windows computers.
One of the challenges when working with OTM has been platform and browser support. The two that I find that work best are:
Personally, I use Firefox 2.0.x for all of my normal Internet browsing and use Camino strictly for OTM. I also use Parallels (Virtual pc, virtual machine and multiple operating system solutions by Parallels, Inc.) to run Windows in a virtual machine, should I ever need to run a windows-only program. I find this useful when connecting to multiple client networks and working with EBS / OTM integration (which I've been doing a lot of recently). The newer versions appear to be much more stable and I'm starting to become satisfied with Parallels again.
Hope this helps!

- Camino 1.0.x (Camino - Mozilla power, Mac style.)
- Firefox 1.5.x (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html)
