RE: Another mini-Mac owner ;-)

["Rob Mouser" <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whilst on that subject. Is it possible to get Internet Explorer 6 for Mac?
A
friend of mine has a Mac (21" iMac, god its gorgeous to look at!) but
has
found that Safari is not supported by Egg's Money Manager so he cant see
how
much his love of Mac has dented his bank account! :-0

Oooooh and one more question... any of you macsperts know if you can get
the
iSight camera working with Windows Messenger?

Cheers

Rob

Yes but only to write the odd letter/spreadsheet. I believe
compatibility between Office on Mac and PC is pretty good, I just don't
use Office that much, I'm afraid.
