Quite true - which is why you'd want to use pixels and not points, even
though w3c recommends against. 12px on a Mac is the same as on Windows, and
so forth. I just CSS'd gamegrene.com with this in mind...
> - Colors are usually slightly brighter and more vibrant on the Mac.
True - this is related to the Mac's gamma settings, which are corrected,
whilst a PC is uncorrected gamma. You'll notice this primarily with dark
images. The Mac does allow uncorrected gamma in the Monitors and Sounds
control panel though...

Really? I've not seen this. I've been transitioning my site pretty steadily
over to XHTML - including gamegrene.com (as mentioned) and disobey.com.
What problems were you seeing.

Avoid Java entirely <g>...
