 * My site looks great in Safari, Firefox and IE 6 for Windows, but AWFUL in IE 
   5.2 for Mac. I know there are some bugs with regards to header images and such,
   I’ve been able to fix that, but my center content is all skewed. The header and
   footer are perfectly aligned, but the post section and sidebar are far, far right,
   off the page. I have validated my CSS and can’t figure out what’s going on.
 * Any help would be appreciated. I can post my CSS is neccessary.

 * IE for the mac is in itself awful. It is sometimes so difficult to get sites 
   the same as they look in other browsers that most people/developers don’t take
   the effort in resolving the differences. My suggestion: just forget it. Use your
   time for something else. 🙂

 * I’d agree with that, generally only sadists try to get everything looking right
   in IE for the Mac. Also, getting IE Mac to play nicely quite often means breaking
   standards.
 * I’d rather have a valid page that doesn’t look right in IE Mac than an invalid
   page that does.
 * Also, I think the amount of people using this browser is so tiny now that it’s
   not worth the effort, and those that do use it realise how badly it renders because
   it does it uniformly across the web.

 * Okay, you guys have conviced me. The only real reason I was holding on to that
   is because I know IE is the most popular browser out there. But just like someone
   would have to be a sadist to render a page in Mac IE, you’d also have to be a
   sadist to keep using IE to surf the web on your Mac.
 * Now I’m happy. Thanks guys!

 * On the Mac, IE is most definitely not the most popular browser out there. IE 
   for Mac and IE for Windows are completely different creatures, which share only
   a name and an icon, and nothing else. Dump IE for Mac and support Mac browser
   that are actually updated, like Safari and Firefox.
 * IE is the bane of my life; one of the companies which provides database software
   to us insists that we use IE for Mac – foolish, uninformed and completely ridiculous
   to not support something else, but our users comply. That’s fine for that particular
   database app, but I’m actively investigating ways to prevent IE for Mac from 
   exiting our intranet, to force users to use something newer.
