Fred,
Unless you have some overwhelming and compelling reason to support IE on the
Mac, I'd suggest you put your energies elsewhere. IE/Mac is an outright
shame in regards to compliancy, and has almost zero market penetration. If
I had to find a number, I may look at the numbers that the BBC published [0]
for visitors to their homepage. Mac represents only 4.4% of their visitors,
and only 30% of those are using IE 5. Overall, that's only 1.32% of their
visitors. I believe this to be a fairly representative slice of the general
population.
