HELP! DEADLINE and my mac won't support ie or firefox

[brobson]

I bought 4 online classes with a deadline attached. I can't access them except from work and I am freaking out!! I can't do college classes at work!

Please advise!

mac osx 5.8 G5 non intel

 

[Intell]

Download and use this: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37761/tenfourfox

It's the FireFox 15.0.1, but compiled and optimized for PowerPC Macs.

I have this already but it says:

Review activities will not work properly if you are using Mozilla's Firefox 3.0 browser. Please use Internet Explorer to work with this activity.

You can't run Internet Explorer on that Mac. You must find a Windows machine to use or attempt to use TenFourFox.

Oh my gosh you mean I have to buy a laptop?!

WHat if I upgrade my OS?

 

[Intell]

Can't. 10.5.8 is the highest version of Mac OS X you can run on that machine.

Well thanks, I am really discouraged.
So a new laptop windows or Mac will work?

 

[Intell]

If the website will only work with Internet Explorer, Windows is needed. It can be run on either a laptop or an Intell based Mac.

Maybe give Ubuntu a try?

Does it specify an IE version? Try downloading IE for Mac? Otherwise, you need to get VirtualPC for Mac (MS) and install Windows.
