One diiference in the way form data is posted from a Mac is how
line endings might be sent. On a PC line endings are usually
sent as two characters: CR + LF (carriage return + line feed/new
line), on a *NIX box lines usually end with just a new line
character and on Macs lines traditionally have ended with just a
carriage return character. This may be different on newer Macs
whose operating systems are UNIX based but I'm not sure about
that.
This could have an impact if the code in the form's target is
attempting to parse line endings for some reason.
However, since you don't describe exactly what problem you're
encountering, this may or may not be relevant.
