Mark,

Looking at your site on my mac, this alert is annoying

It's also the first thing a Mac user will see when visiting your site.

The number of mac users using IE is probably very small indeed (IIRC,  
IE was dropped before the intel switch, and Safari was  the preferred  
browser for a long time before that).

In case you wish to alter the offending code in jscript1.js, example  
output from navigator.userAgent on my mac:

Firefox:

	Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/ 
20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

Safari:

	Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/419  
(KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3

Opera:

	Opera/9.01 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en)


You could use this to not display that alert if the strings  
"Firefox", "Safari", or "Opera" were present.

Regards,

Paul
