Decided to look at Palatine site. First page says "YOUR BROWSER IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS SITE. PLEASE UPGRADE TO A MODERN BROWSER."
My browser is four years old and one of the most standard-compliant of its day. "FIne," I think. "Safari is listed." So I click on Safari. But it is version 5. And version 5 requires Snow Leopard. And Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor. And that's not what I have in my Mac. Therefore, if I want to buy roses from Palatine, I need to spend $1700 - $3500 on a new computer.
HA!
Actually, it seems like the display functions of the site work ok. Maybe I can get by without a new computer. But, if so, why the effort to try and scare me away? Sometimes the choices suppliers make puzzle me.
