Since I have started designing websites, I have found that Internet Explorer 6 is the death of all things cool on the internet. Everything on our website will look cool on the mac browser, Safari, (of course) and on the PC things will look cool in Firefox, but not in IE 6. So, to get it working I have to go back and tinker with the html and stuff to modify the website so that it will show up correctly. It’s sort of a trial and error process, so I have to keep checking to see what the site looks like in IE 6. Well, this wouldn’t be too bad, except we don’t own a PC, and I often don’t find out how bad it looks until the site has been up for a while. Since we have a Macbook with an intel chip I can now boot into XP and check out our site that way, but that can be annoying since I do all of the web designing on the iMac (Power PC). I set out on a journey to see if I could run IE 6 on my iMac and I found this program called Q that would let me boot XP on my Power PC iMac. After about a 5 hour install process I found that Q was not going to work. It ran incredibly slow! I took some screen shots of the program running XP just to prove that it was possible. Now have to set back out on another web journey to see if there is any other way to run IE 6 on my mac. If any of you guys have any suggestions let me know!Notice running 1GB Ram and still slow.

Look! Our website!
