I can have a look from IE5 on Mac OS9 if you like. In any case, I will be
doing this for somebody else this morning ... what's the URI?

And I now know how to capture screenshots under OS 9...

http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs...reenshots.html

[Snip]

* Save a picture of the ENTIRE screen to a file
1. Press Command+Shift+3


* Save a picture of a rectangular region of the screen to a file
1. Press Command+Shift+4
2. Drag mouse across the part of the screen you want to capture.


* Save a picture of a specific window to a file
1. Press Command+Shift+4+CapsLock
2. Click the window you want to capture.

To copy a section the Clipboard instead of saving it as a file, press the
Control key as you select what you would like to capture.

[/Snip]

It was a Mac-specific format that's difficult to change (I tried).
SimpleText could open it initially. I have just tried Open Office and it
seems to open it albeit in rather low quality. If you want me to comment on
the sites verbally, let me know.

I have just checked these one by one. Web video looks all okay. Haven't done
any comparison against Firefox, but it looks 'correct'. Same with LifeLine.
Same with the third site. They are all based on similar 'templates' so I
can see consistency in the appearance, which seems rather pleasant to the
visitor. I hope it takes all worries away.

Get OpenOffice.org (also AppleWorks would be suitable) because the only
person to judge this properly is yourself.
