Re: Apple iMac and Webfacing

Alas...you're right...IBM should support browsers in general...btw,
Netscape won't work with Webfacing either. It has to be IE 5.5 or 6.0 on
a Windows platform - so much for open systems. Of course, WDSC doesn't
work on anything but Windows either...isn't this the 'I love Java'
company?
