Factiva & Mac Browsers
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Factiva is saying they will no longer provide support for Internet Explorer on the Mac? That’s the only browser I can currently get the database to run in.
I guess this change is just more fodder for me to add to the pile of reasons why I need an upgrade to OS X.

IE/Mac is even more of an abomination than IE/Win.
OS9 was lovely for its day, but really, really, REALLY, OSX is the way to go.
Safari, Firefox, random other choices for browsers.
Given that MS has stopped supporting IE/Mac on OSX, let alone on 9, I’m even more fine than I’d normally be with someone not supporting MS products.
I bet you can find people with legit Panther (10.3) licenses they’re no longer using…

It’s, unfortunately, an issue related to my tech support at work. Finding people with extra licenses won’t really work in this case …
I try hard not to keep up w/ Microsoft, so I didn’t realize they had stopped supporting IE on Macs. Knowing that puts this decision in perspective.
I’ve sent you some e-mails, but haven’t gotten anything from you. If you aren’t getting my messages, let me know and I can resend. I know my e-mails frequently disappear into spam never-neverland.
