Diana,
If you look at the source code for http://www.almliquor.com.au, you
will find it starts with a very obsolete browser sniffer. I have
listed the source code below in case you are interested.
However, the source code finally gives the site's real URL, which is:
https://www.almliquor.com.au/alm/index.jsp
This page opens happily on my Firefox 3.5.7 under MacOS 10.4.11.
Better order quickly so you can adequately drown your frustration.
Source follows with brackets and irrelevancies removed so it won't
upset your email:

Hi Everyone, Happy Australia Day
Graham has been trying to access the on-line ordering site
www.almliquor.com.au with no luck.
He has tried Safari [4.0.4] and Firefox [3.5.7] on his iMac
[PowerPC G5(3.0), 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM running Leopard].
He then tried using the PC with Internet Explorer. This would
access the site but it kept on wanting to upgrade to IE v. 8 and so
he gave in and upgraded. Now the PC does not connect to the
wireless network any more!
He is very peeved and has now gone to watch the WA State Bowls
finals while I try to solve this.
I don't kid myself I can solve the PC problem so what I need is a
Mac browser that can access the site.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Best wishes from Diana
