I'm Mac-ignorant.... I know that I can use Konqueror in Linux to test what websites will look like in Safari...but it's my understanding that it only covers more recent versions of Safari? Do I assume that *most* Mac users have OSX? Is there a percentage still using OS9? If so, what do I use to test pages for them? Do I test different versions of Safari as I would different versions of IE and Netscape? What versions would be the most prevalent?
Generally aNanyone with an older Mac cannot upgrade to OSX - unless the buy a new processor card and for that much they might as well save for a new machine. It means the people who have a working machine and not a lot of expendable income may be stuck at OS9. Not very nice but that is what it is. They will not be using Safari they will be using IE5 most likely because that was the "best" browser for OS9 - at least the most CSS compliant one. They may be a non-profut or just someone who got handed down a free machine. I do not think anyone knows the percentage of OS9 users - but I could be wrong. I guess if it is about selling a lot of pricey stuff then don't worry about them but if it is about accessibility... It is a judgement call and some extra work.
It all goes back to know your audience. Regards Moira -- Moira Ashleigh.
