Hi! I'm new here, and although I've searched high and low, the answer
to my question may be right in front of me, so I apologize in advance.
Here is my question: I am a "contact" person (fall guy) for a web
application that was developed solely for use with IE. The problem I
have is that the developers didn't take into consideration (care) that
about a third of the 3000 users would be on Macs. I am being bombarded
(pummelled) by justifiably angry Mac user e-mails. I myself am a Mac
user, but at work I have a PC. I know Microsoft doesn't support IE for
Mac, but can I find an old version for these folks to use? I went to
the download sites for IE 5 I found in this forum, but the links are
not pulling up IE 5, only the "sorry we don't do that anymore" page.
Any help/guidance/prayer will be most appreciated!

Hi there,

I have both IE 5.2.3 for OSX and 5.1 for OS 9 sitting archived on my
machine, I could upload them to my webserver if you need the installers
for you to download, I've sent you an e-mail through my .Mac account
and could send the address to you when I get back to my machine to
upload the files to the webserver.
