Re: Apple iMac and Webfacing

One of the other problems that you have is that IE on a Mac is no longer
developed. They stopped at 5.2.3 (no relationship to Win IE versions) and
have not updated it since. They apparently refuse to do so b/c of Apple
releasing Safari as their browser of choice.

The ~one~ thing I dislike about my Mac is the Microsoft software. I doubt
you will get any relief..
