As the only proper way to test to to actually run the software (screen shots don't help much with JavaScript), and while any standards based code which works properly in Firefox stands a good chance of also working in Safari, IE, on the other hand (surprise, surprise) isn't quite such a sure thing. Now, while I'm not ready to go out and by a Mac, does anyone have any experience with emulators under either WinXP or (x86 based) Linux?
I know (as a long-time user) that Macs have that price-tag reputation, but until someone comes up with a workable equivalent to Virtual PC in the reverse direction, why wouldn't you buy a 2nd hand iMac for $200-$300? That's as much as a half-decent software program's going to cost, and you've got a machine that will run all the browsers you want. If it comes with any flavour of OS9, upgrades to 9.2.2 are free (well, if you discount the cost of a couple of 100MB downloads); OSX is your only other expense - and you may well find a machine with that pre-installed...
Hmm... moving OT, methinks. Apologies.
