thanks for the info! i do have PC's available still, however the iMac will be my primary workstation, so your tips are invaluable :) you mentioned that it handled IE5 DHTML, how does it work with Netscape? > 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.
