I've got a site which I've heard has some trouble in IE / Mac. I'd
really appreciate it if someone could tell me what the problem is
(since I don't have a mac) and if possible, even suggest a solution.

Seems to be OK in IE Mac 5.2 for Mac OS 10.4.1 (Tiger), except for
your logo. It appears that IE5 Mac doesn't like your image
replacement technique.
I found this method to work for IE Mac and others - but I haven't
tested it much. I think this is listed on the Wiki too? Some will
frown upon this method because it requires extra markup - <span></
span> - but it works in a pinch. Also, the "replaced" text becomes
visible when text size is increased to large sizes.
I plan to change this soon, but for now have a look at the code below
for a quick, easy, temporary fix:
/* The CSS */
#replace {
width: 450px; /* the width of the image that replaces
the text */
height: 124px; /* the height of the image that replaces
the text */
position: relative;
}
#replacer span {
background: url(path/to/your/image.gif) no-repeat;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
<!-- the HTML -->
<h1 id="replace"><span></span>Text that gets Replaced</h1>

Then take a look at this article for a better, long-term solution:

Also:
The site does choke my broadband connection in the "images" area
which is hard to do. I understand that your work needs to be seen in
high resolution, but you might want to reconsider having the large
image on screen. Maybe break it into smaller images, allow users to
navigation to each one instead of loading them all at once.
Here is a list of approximate load times for the images area:
Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 270.33 seconds
28.8K 135.26 seconds
33.6K 115.97 seconds
56K 69.66 seconds < - - About 50% of
Internet users
ISDN 128K 21.47 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 2.05 seconds
In my opinion, 70 seconds is too long to wait to see anything on the
net.
