And browsercam is the only way you're going to get IE5 for the Mac to
work, since Microsoft stopped supporting it in December of 2005,
removed IE Mac from their downloads section on January 31, 2006, and
told Macintosh users in 2006 (2 years ago!) to *stop using Internet
Explorer on their Macs.* IE5 can create real problems for the rest of
the Mac OS, as in crashing and kernel panics, so I don't know why Mac
users would still be clinging to it.
According to your stats, what percentage of IE5 for Mac users are
viewing your site? On my stats (I love AwStats), it's about 0% (5
hits). Even my sister, who was a die-hard OS9 user because of some of
her chemistry software, finally left the dark side. Is your client
going to pay for the the extra time futzing with the CSS to make it
work in something that shouldn't be being used anyway?
On my stats, Opera is about 1%. Konqueror is .1%. Camino is .3%.
Safari is 16%. Firefox is 29.7%. YMMV.
To answer your question for myself, I have Safari and FF running on my
MacPro and MacBookPro (so I really only need to check it on one
computer). On my MacPro I have Parallels/Windows XP running on that,
with IE7 (29%). On my MacBook Pro, I have Parallels/ WinXP and IE6
(19.5%) (wherein I have to *constantly* ignore the Microsoft nags to
PLEASE upgrade to IE7 because my IE6 is supposedly such a freakin'
security risk). I suppose I should be checking in other browsers, but
I'm not, although I do run a site through the Lynx checker.
I think I'll also install Safari on my PC, too. Good idea! I suppose I
should start checking my sites in Opera, too.
