But let&#39;s not speculate about my age. <br/><br/>I&#39;m still sad I can&#39;t use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit&#39;s DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today.<br/><br/>And I&#39;m proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen.
