This entire discussion about support for IE 5 Mac is pointless. IE for Mac used a completely different rendering engine than IE for Windows and was actually (pretty-much) standards compliant. We don't need to worry about what browser people on Mac Classic should migrate to for viewing Wikipedia. I'm reasonably confident that Wikipedia would render fine in IE 5 for Mac (or iCab, or Classilla).

That is still at least 1000 pageviews per month. If it does not degrade gracefully, we would be telling them to buy a new computer in order to view Wikipedia.
This is completely wrong. You do know that it is possible to install new software? The problem has been mentioned several times. It is most likely environments where the user does not have control over installed software.

Excuse me? please read the earlier posts in this thread.
I am talking about IE for Mac Classic.
iCab support? Is Classilla a sensible replacement for people still using IE for Mac? etc.
