In all honesty, I don't think you have to worry about old Macs. Well, maybe, maybe not. It really all depends on a particular site and what the audience uses. Macs are reliable, they often go on for years and years. There are plenty out there still in active use.
Hmm, unless you have a need to support old mac users in particular, I wouldn't feel too guilty about dropping support for Mac IE5 (OS9/OS X). After all, both Microsoft and Apple dropped support for it long ago. Djun P.S. on a 'would be funny if it weren't so painful' note - I had to use a provincial government/ public service site the other day that refused to let me use anything other than IE5+. When I complained, the person responsible told me this policy was 'to ensure security' :) I elected to transact my correspondence via snail mail.
