Internet Exployer

Internet Explorer has been out of production for the Mac for at least 5 years. There is no version that will work on Intel Macs.

You could run IE on an Intel based iMac if you are also running Windows with BootCamp. But why invite a virus if you can avoid it????

You would be going back in time 5 years.

There is a version of Internet Explorer for Intel Macs, if you want to install X11:

It is not the official version, but may be compatible with some websites that the last official version is not. X11 may be extracted from your Mac's original installer discs. I've attempted to locate the article on how to do that, but can't find it at the present time. If you need help finding it, I'm sure someone in the Developer forum can help you:

In the meantime, if you just want to see what a website looks like Internet Explorer, http://www.browsershots.org/ offers a nice service to do this without having to install any new software.

If you find a website that says it can only be used with Internet Explorer, please point the webmaster to http://www.anybrowser.org/ They obviously don't know how to code websites for the greatest amount of customer support, and need to understand there are ways of making websites compatible with all browsers.

Additional info can be found on my FAQ*:

There are several third-party bookmark managers. Search for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

What do you mean? Are you asking whether the bookmarks can be sorted?

In the bookmarks area you can create folders and put them in there or if you have a page just full of bookmarks you can drag them and drop them in any order you like.

You wouldn't want to use IE even if you could because it's more prone to exploits than other browsers like Firefox or Safari.

Glad you love your Mac, you are not alone 😉

I haven't tried this myself, but you could try alphabetizing your Safari Bookmarks.

You'd be amazed what you can find just using Google to search for ideas.

Try to stay away from too much in the way of third party applications. Nine times out of ten, they cause more problems then they are worth.

If you need some links on migrating from PC to Mac... post back.

That's an excellent argument when writing webmasters about making their website more open to other browsers. Essentially they have opened up their websites to being hacked by limiting it to Internet Explorer.

Thank you for your kind words. Goes a long way!
