So. There's this Really Important Software that I was trained to use today, having to do with emergency stuff. It will only run in Explorer. Explorer, apparently, is no longer made for macs, and the more recent macs (OSX) won't support the older (available) versions of Exploder. Or so some web page or other told me.
I could complain to the manufacturer of the Really Important Software, or to the people who have purchased said software and have disseminated it throughout the region. And I probably will. (Exploder? Really?? Couldn't they have gone for a civilized browser?) But complaining won't actually do much of anything, and certainly won't get me access to said Really Important Software before the next ice storm hits.
So, you net gods and goddesses - who's got a way for me to use Expldr on my mac? Do I have to resort to Parallels (which I'm suspecting is, itself, a bit antiquated), and use a non-mac version of IE?
