Thanks everyone for your comments and help, it seems obvious that it's not worth doing, I'll speak to the IT manager but I am sure that he will say "you are the only one with a Mac!" Howard Johnson

Probably a complete waste of time. The last Mac version of IE is so back-level that its very likely most sites (especially up to date or recent sites, especially e-commerce) won't work properly or even at all. The support for most of the modern browser facilities and style sheets is very poor or non-existent. I'm afraid you'll need a virtual environment running Windows in order to use IE, and I think you'll have to be on an Intel-based Mac to do that. ... Graham on 18/5/09 07:32 Howard Johnson sent the following: I have a 1.8 GHz Power PC G5 mac and when I bought it about 4 years ago it had IE installed. It seemed to cause all sorts of problems so I deleted it and use Safari and Firefox as a back up. However I work part-time for a cinema media group and now all payslips and timesheets are on line. Their system will only accept IE browsers so I can't check my times or money. I read that Microsoft don't support IE for Macs anymore, so would it pointless trying to download IE? If I can't get access it's not the end of the world as I can always go to my daughters and use her PC. What do MUG users think?
