I'm using Internet Explorer that came with the machine.
To me the thorn reproduces as a little h with the short leg abbreviated, but cutting-and-pasting gives me ®!= which I see as an R-in-a-circle followed by a not-equal-to sign [equal sign with a slash through it].
I can't see the ®!= in Opera that I could see in Mozilla...
and I observe that even this translates differently, as a r/circle, exclamation point, and then equal sign, when I preview the post !
Haven't fooled around much with keyboard combinations or different fonts to try for the esoteric characters...

I can't click into this thread, but I can see your thorn quite well, Faldage. Searching for stuff is made a lot easier in OS 10.2. There's a search field at the top of every Finder window. The best way to be able to find your stuff is to meticulously organize it from the start, but only freakish OCDers like me do that . . . Our results for clicking in to the thread and seeing the thorn may have to do with which operating system we're using. OS X is very different from OS 9 and before. I'm using 10.2.1, the most recent update, what about y'all?
I firmly believe that the reason we don't have (m)any virus attacks is because we are the chosen ones and Steve the Almighty protects us from the ravaging forces of evil (Wintel).
I rarely even see a PC anymore. Almost everyone in my school and both of my roommates use Macs and almost all are using the Titanium Powerbook G4 laptop. The only real issues I've ever heard anyone complain about is not having enough space. The switch from OS 9 to OS X that many people are doing right now creates a lot of superfluous, space-wasting stuff. 10 gigabytes really isn't enough for all of the intense graphics stuff we do and the loads of MP3s that most have.

I made the thorn right here on this iMac OS9.x in Opera with ampersand-number sign-two-two-two-semicolon.

It _does_ work! Now all we need to do is find out how to underline...

ANYTHING to stop
Too late, Dr. Frankenstein.
Personally I allus liked Dave Barry's theory on why PCs sell so much better than Macs.
It's easier to win at solitaire on a PC.

What MAC-PC debate?
Is there even a PCer posting in this thread anymore?
