Ber, There is a time to let things go, and the time for IE on the Mac is now. Don't feel guilty. Think about it as a public service to the rest of the world. You are helping to stop web designers having to worry about IE on the Mac (now they only have to concentrate on IE for Win!) It is the same thing as asking how many Apple G3 processor machines are out there? Maybe 1% of Macs ? If that is that case, does that mean you have to sacrifice the speed of delivery for 99% of people because you need to make it work for the 1% ? Let it go, don't feel guilty.

You have to bear in mind that IE users on the Mac are used to websites not working properly. Not because the designers do it wrong, but because the browser is sh*t.
This, is very true! but still, to me it just "feels wrong" to leave people drown in their own sh%t, because they made the wrong choice :).
Indeed, we hunted for alternatives on older macs for IE 5.5 and ended up with self-compilable firefoxen, or oddly configured lynxes. But I am not sure if /I/ should bother about these couple of poor bastards :). I dont even "officially support" ie 5 for windows anymore. as of this month!
Does anyone know any? Id love to point some users to them.
But to me, this chapter is closed with: get these poor folks a foudantion, donate some funds to get them a non-MS browser and stop nagging aboout that horribly broken one.
