I use Windows based PCs on everything I do at home, and for webpages. I was wondering if there was a program that would allow me to view my webpages as if I was using a Mac computer so that I could see how it looks and feels to Mac users. I am almost certain that I heard of such a program but can't remember where. Of course I'd rather NOT have to buy a Mac computer just to test my webpages.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Well, instead of buying a or getting a program, you could always submit it here in the Web Critique area and how it looks.

I've only tried it out once, but browsercam.com shows you screenshots of what your site looks like on a variety of computers/browsers. I think you're limited to a certain amount of time using their service, though.

Theres a freebie for seeing stuff in Safari available at http://www.danvine.com/icapture/
Firefox renders almost identically to it's PC version and don't even bother trying to make complex designs work in IE for the mac as Microsoft stopped development quite a few years back and it can be a royal pain in the backside.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks.

Of course... if you do a lot of web design, you might want to consider buying a mac. The new Mac mini is brilliantly priced in my opionion.
I recently purchased a mac mini myself for cross browser testing, however after using OSX for 10 minutes I fell in love with the thing completely and now I use the mac as my main machine and the PC just for testing!!
