UPDATE: We've received notice that IE 5.1.7 for Mac OS 8.6 is no longer rendering the front page, despite the fact that I have not made any changes to it for the past couple of weeks. Does Apple itself even support Mac OS 8.6 anymore? I used to work there, and I remember the Mac OS 8 launch: Motley Crue came to Apple campus and gave a concert. Mid-set, the lead singer screamed that we were all "#$*#* losers," presumably because no one was rockin' out. That was in 1997, back when digicams were barely 0.5 megapixels. You don't use 0.5 megapixel cameras anymore, and you probably shouldn't be using browsers from that time period, either.
Of course, if you are using a browser from that time period, you probably aren't seeing this news article, so perhaps I am only preaching to the converted.

Comment(s):1997 - was that when the Pepsi guy was trying to run Apple, or the Gil Amelio guy?
Surely Steve Jobs wouldn’t have hired Motley Crue, right???

Posted by Eric Cheng on 04/02 at 03:50 AMI looked at wetpixel in Mac OS 9...a lot of pics and copy didn’t show up properly. With Mac OS 10.3 on Safari everything was OK.
Your pictures in Rodales April issue looked great.
Did you ever get the Gulf Stream drift pics I sent you ?
Splash,

Posted by Eric Cheng on 04/02 at 05:46 AMHey Eric. When you say “officially suported” does that mean the front page should auto resize?
Posted by Robert on 04/02 at 10:00 AMHi, Robert -
I should say, the “newest” version of Firefox. :) I wish I knew what was wrong with the front page not sizing properly with older versions of Mozilla, but all I can say is that the development team fixed the problem because it isn’t occuring with the newest build…
Posted by Eric Cheng on 04/02 at 11:18 AMI am just greatful it works with IE and OS X, thanks for thinking of the minority. Keith
