I find it completely ridiculous that they only support PCs running Microsoft software. I do not use a PC, I use a Mac, and I know a LOT of college students here use Macs. Can I work around this stupidity somehow? There has to be some trick to get their stuff to work just fine on my Mac...right?
 
When I run their "installation wizard", it gives me two errors. First, it tells me that since I'm running Windows 3.1, I need to update to something newer, and they reccomend XP :D Apparently they get Tiger confused with old Windows...

Secondly, it immediately noticed I was using Firefox and told me to switch to IE. I have the newest firefox.
 
i know it said that you can't use firefox, but i take a lot of online classes and it says you can't use it, but it still works and their is an active object ext. for firefox 3
