In addition to the info from John and David, some other notes:


--  iMacs play Flash just great... matter of fact, you'll find that the

Flash 3 and Shockwave 6.01 players are preinstalled into both the Netscape

and Microsoft browsers on those machines. (I use an iMac at home right

now.)


--  You might be asking about a single site, that isn't configured for MIME

info... including the usual one-or-all-sites discriminator in any post sent

to thousands can help clear these ambiguities.


--  Including the basic info about what browser you're using can help

too... for instance, the description above could be achieved by using

IE4/Mac on a site which uses JavaScript for browser-detection. (As

discussed on this list before, IE/Mac cannot tell JavaScript its plugins.)


There could be a couple of ways to achieve problems, but trying more than

one site, in more than one browser, could be a good way to find out what

the actual problem might be.
