After sitting un-used for about 2 years. I finally dusted off our circa 1999 i-Mac and plugged her into our lan connection to see if she would detect the Internet....and it worked! I was amazed. I would have been equally amazed if it were an older pc though.

After seeing some issues with the site using the old IE 4.5 for Mac I was concerned. However trying to find the issue at first seemed hopeless. Then lo-and-behold I looked at the defaul Apple/Netscape page that it was defaulting to on startup. Ahh! It looked like crap too! So I first thought. Well I will think like a Mac person and download the new version of Netscape. DOH! Netscape 7.1 only works with OS X! Silly Netscape. I am not buying OS X for a 5 year old i-Mac. So off to Microsoft.com I went and downloaded and installed IE 5.1 for Mac. Works well. And the site I am happy to report looks very good also. I was amazed.

PS: If any of you odd Mac people have issues I can at least now try to track them down. Let's just hope they aren't Netscape 7.1 issues. You are on your own then.

Thanks Jim,
odd mac people?.....I suppose I am...lol.
Cheers
Peter :-)

I certainly am not an odd Mac user.

I'm smart enough to know not to use Netscape!

(Actually - the newest changes you made to the Site's appearance even looks quite nice on my wife's laptop display - and it really isn't a good display. On my iMac desktop(s) the Site really looks sharp.)

My mac is set up for Internet Explorer...and is also nice and sharp.

OS X is based on BSD and is a great reason to run it alone.
I just run BSD on PCs I build, so it's similar.
OSX has a next gen interface I was most impressed with.
I remember wanting an Imac when they came out, but my wife doesnt get the three PCs I own already. ("When will it end?" she asked me, as i ignored three closets full of shoes)

Anyway I also like the browser Opera.
I'm very impressed with it on the Windows or Linux/BSD platforms.
its Adware unless you pay,
I think you should look at it if you think your Imac can run it and want a few things that IE5.1 may not be able to deliver on.
M$ killed Java support when they lost to Sun in court, and Opera includes it.
Thankfully Armorama doesnt need Java but you may need it elsewhere.

I still use IE almost exclusively but if I really need to control my Java VM on a site to get a good experience, Opera is nice to have handy.
Check it out if so inclined.
