Send them out forthwith to procure an Mac and do not let them re-enter
the building without one.

Seriously.

Mac Mini's are cheap-a-cheap-a  and pack a hell of a wallop... so long
as you're not doing sound or video *editing* on them... then again a
powerbook can easily handle that sort of thing, if it's your bag and
pricking's not too bad on them.  But for the developer (especially
LAMP folk or RoR'rs), OS X is just dreamy.  Unix underpinnings and eye
candy to boot.

IDE?  Eclipse.  With the PHPEclipse plugin... even if you're just
doing html, it's a cheap way to get good syntax highlighting and code
completion into it.  price?  free.

Plays oh so nice with mySQL (CocoaMySQL for a GUI DB interface), comes
with Apache and PHP preinstalled.

Did I mention the eye candy?  very harmonious and thanks to Apples
extensive interface specifications, everything pretty much behaves
like you expect it to... stuff just makes sense.  They *get* it.

Sorry... rant.   

Your site looks great in the standards compliant browsers on mac.  As
Franni pointed out though, you've got a small issue in Exploder 5.2
for Mac.  It looks like a box model botch.  The nav float seems to be
a bit too wide...  I'm thinking a simple hack for it would clear it
up...

 from http://www.sam-i-am.com/work/sandbox/css/mac_ie5_hack.html ,
something like this:

/* commented backslash hack v2 \*/
#quicklinx {width:???; } /* not for IE 5.2 */
#quicklinx {width:???; } /* for IE 5.2 */
/* end hack */

Check out Dan Vine's site for a free way to get Mac screen grabs...
you can at least get the nav float straight.  Or just give IE the
finger.  I do.
