Take a look at Launch.com

Web designers shouldnīt feel limited because the browser support on mac is lousy. Just my opinion.....

And another thing, one here mentioned "brainwashed by ms". I would say that thereīs a higher percentage of mac users thatīs "brainwashed by Apple.

(like: "Windows sucks, mac rules. Period)

Microsoft does a lot of good stuff. Put Windows 2000 and Mac OS 9.2 up against each other. Thereīs no arguing about whatīs the best OS of them.
At the moment, OSX has some issues to sort out (mostly in terms of speed ), to REALLY claim that itīs better than XP.
But that doesnīt belong in this thread......

koim, people do get brainwashed by apple sometimes, but in the area of browsers there is SERIOUS brainwashing going on. Everyone just assumes you use IE and if you don't they think something is wrong with you.

Not sure

I donīt know. Most of the pages Iīve been to where mac browsers arenīt supported also has some kind of alternative page layout.

So. Iīm hoping to get a REAL browser to the mac soon......

(iMac=internetMac? you gotta be kidding?!)

No they weren't kidding.

Do you remember when the first iMac made its splash?

iMac (internetMAC) was a superbly appropriate name.

Look back at the commercials (and yes, those commercials reflected real life experiences - my sister's included) from the time. NO pc box at that time allowed users to do what they could with a computer in just a few seconds and with half a brain.

Probably

Youīre right.
But for today, it doesnīt qualify as an all-internet computer.
And you canīt blame it on the web-coders writing sloppy code.
80% of the world uses PCīs. Remember?
