My housemate has used macs for years, she is running the latest OS
tiger and to this day still uses IE 5.2 - its what she's used to
using. My friends in the print industry are still using OS 9 so their
browser is IE 5.2

Anwyay, generally it only takes a few tweaks to get it playing nicely
- or at least being usable.

Give floats a width, instead of floating nav elements use
display:inline-block, make sure all your IE pc fixes are for the PC
only.
