point taken,
I think the best way to look at this is if we can find someone able to do
the mac coding (bug fixing mainly) this way we can see how often a test for
platform==mac is used, if used often it's fairly simple to replace them with
is.macie checks. I'm not sure if DOM is even used in the current code (ns6
checks should be sufficient) I know why it was added once, but is that
stuff still used?
And thus I'm now doing an official cry out to that one or two persons out
there with a Mac and the knowledge to bug fix for that browser.. please show
us that the Mac is not for DTP persons only :-)
