I use a PC at work and internet explorer, when I view webpages at work they seem fine, but at home I have a imac and firefox, and when I view the same pages at home that I have viewed at work for example - yahoo answers the background colours and graphic don't seem to appear.. eg my screen on the mac in answers is white.. but at work on the PC I have a green background in answers.. and can see the three big buttos on the top of the page that say ASK, Answer & Resolved..but can't see these at home they are just big white boxes.. can change my setting on the mac to see these things or is that just the way it is??

It's a problem with your firefox browser. It doesn't load the images. In firefox, go to Tools, then option. Click on the content icon then check the "load images box" and uncheck the box "from the originating....". That should do it. Hit the refresh button and voila, the images will appear.

I would like to vouch for the Mac without a doubt. I was a PC user for ever since my first computer in the mid 90's, but when I switched to last year it was an instant step up. The new macbooks are great for the graphics you want, and has excellent standard ram. The battery life of a Mac is incomparably better than a PC.. I can get 5 hours of battery life while having wifi on (which eats battery life on pc's) and watching a movie. They are also faster than all pc's at a comparable price. THis is because Vista is a beast to run and takes up tonnes of memory. OS X is a breeze to use. I have had absolutely no problems with my macbook. However, i did upgrade to 4 gb of ram.

People write java apps to work with IE, and they don't always play right on Mac Firefox or Safari. If you can find a copy of the old unsupported Mac IE it will still show most of those sites correctly.
And, of course, make sure your Mac browsers have the latest updates.

Doesn't your Mac have the Safari browser? I find that Safari is the best browser to use on a Mac. After all, it is Apple's browser. It was the first web browser to pass the Acid 2 standards compliance test. You can also try Opera.

That's why when making websites, they need to be testing in every browser (netscape, firefox, IE, Mac, etc.). Different DOM for each will cause websites to look different.
