Bull...they support Macs just fine. You just have to get off the pot and use a modern OS. OS X has been here for 4 years now, folks. It as if you were asking them to support Windows 3.11 still...ain't gonna happen.
The tech folks were talking out their a**, though about netscape. They probably assumed you meant Netscape 4.X. If they support NS 7 on a PC they support it on a Mac. It's the same program!
Netscape went to the Mozilla browser because the netscape 4.x code base was hopelessly fubar'ed. Supporting 4.x browsers triples or quadruples your coding load. AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT!
I don't know a single web designer who didn't dance the happy dance of endless joy when they got told they didn't have to support 4.x browsers any more.
Like Apple did when it dropped Copland and went to NeXT fro Rhapsody, they realized they just couldn't make the thing work any more and they had to start from scratch.
The handwriting is on the wall, people. OS 9 is dead. Long Live OS X.
