If you've never used a Mac (I noticed you mail client's UA is '(Win98; I)')
I'd strongly recommend you look into BBEdit. Its really the best text editor
on the Mac.

Flash 4 works fine on the iMac.

As for seeing your websites as they should be on a PC, having an actual PC
is still the best way to go. Some people speak very highly of Virtual PC on
the Mac, but I still have a PC sitting on my desk (both @home and @work) for
checking pages.

IE5/Mac is pretty darn compliant with HTML4 & CSS. (Its bugs are in the HTTP
implementation & caching issues). There are some major HTTP bugs in there -
POST arguments being the most unfortunate.
