Going to websites on OSX

Are there other options to the following to take people to a website?

# tUrl being the website address, as in http://www.something.com

       send tUrl to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"

if that fails, it tries:

       put "open location" && quote & tURL & quote into s
       do s as AppleScript

if that also fails it puts tUrl on the clipboard so that the user can 
paste it into their web browser.

The above works for some, but not all.  It does make sure that the 
person is connected to the internet first before trying.  I was 
wondering if perhaps Tiger requires a new approach?

On a happy note... I'm getting excited!  My New Computer Fund is very 
happy, and I look forward to upgrading to a new Intel machine when 
they come out.  Is there any ETA on when Metacard (Revolution) will 
come out with an Intel-happy version?
