I think there is no reason that what they are trying to do wouldn't work on
a Mac and that their marketing dept needs to wake up to the fact that they
are alienating a good number of people who may be coming to their site.
Further, anyone who spells Mac as MAC clearly knows nada about Macs.
If you want to get really nasty, send email or a letter to the marketing
department rather than to the webmaster. ;-)
Also, if they don't have any privacy statement I think they are once again
showing their cluelessness.
