Sounds fair, I would say "Tough luck!" then, since the pages validate and the browsers choose not to display it properly. If the users complain I'll tell them "sorry, but we did everything by the books, look at your browser, get rid of it and change to PC ;-)".
That's a very bad way to look at it. Just because a page validates, does not mean it's bug free. If something doesn't work in Safari or Opera 9, then there's a good chance that the problem is with your code, even if it works in Firefox. By just ignoring other browsers, you may in fact be unintentionally relying on bugs in the browsers you do test.
Besides, many people use Macs, Linux and many other OSs. You shouldn't restrict your visitors to using Windows, and you have no right to tell them to switch to a PC. You cannot and should force your preferences on others.
Should I be thinking about fixing up the issues in Opera and on the Mac or just say "tough luck!"
Does it work on Opera 9 on the PC? If so, it should work on the Mac. I can't recall ever seeing any difference between them. If it works on the PC, but not on the Mac, you should investigate the issue, find out which one is buggy and then report the bug to Opera.
