Yes. Just because your guys coded to IE does not mean it's not possible under other browers. Some friends of mine coded almost the exact same concept which worked under Netscape back in 2001.

thing is - I'm speaking out of my ass. I don't know what IE supports that other browsers don't. I don't know what the site uses. I don't know whether it's only compatible with IE - it might even support with mozilla for all I know. but my point is - you're throwing phrases like if you're really smart. but do you actually run a company and take decisions as to what browser to support and which not? even if you do - what's wrong in designing for 95% of users out there (perhaps IE has less but it a pretty big percentage)? I'm not trying to speak for someone, but I hate when I see people who think they know everything.

btw - perhaps what your friends wrote was a java app, which is a completely different thing. what features did it have?

*puts flamesuit on*

anything made by apple sucks!!!

the only cool thing is the 23" LCD display.

they don't *suck* per se but they're way overpriced. for the same price you can get a über1337 PC.

games can be a concern when buying macs also
