One last note - MS just discontinued IE for Mac - and I've noted
many instances where the current IE for Mac doesn't display pages
the same way or at all compared to the Windows version.
Apple's new Safari is Konqueror based, but
has it's own display quirks.  I actually use Mozilla on my Mac usually.
