First off: thank you to Manfred, Bruce and Justin for the initial wealth of screenshots, descriptions, and offers of testing assistance for this IE5/Mac bug. As I mentioned earlier, I'm Mac-less myself, so this sort of teamwork is great to have available and is much appreciated!
 
To review: here's the problem, which is IE5/Mac-specific:
 
Essentially, the header aligns to the left, rather than being centered like the content below it. For those like me without Mac-testing access, here's a screenshot:
 
Below are some possible fixes I've whipped up. No guarantees here, but we'll see how it goes. :-)
 
NOTE: Screenshots aren't required of the testfixes below, unless one of the testfixes solves the problem but introduces other wackiness in the process. As shown below, a simple "thumbs-up/thumbs-down" should do the trick.
 
NOTE ALSO: For now, these text fixes are focused *only* on IE5/Mac, so it doesn't matter to me what they do in other browsers. Once we find something that makes IE5/Mac happy, getting it to play well with the other kids is easy.
 
 
Testfix #1:
 
This just reorders the rules inside #Header a bit. I doubt it'll do anything, but you never know...
 
 
Questions for testers:
 
a) Is the header now centered in IE5/Mac?:
 
b) If "yes" to (a): Which OS(es) and browser version(s) did you test in?:
 
 
Testfix #2:
 
Specifies "position:relative" for the header, just in case IE5/Mac forgot. :-)
 
 
Questions for testers:
 
a) Is the header now centered in IE5/Mac?:
 
b) If "yes" to (a): Which OS(es) and browser version(s) did you test in?:
 
 
Testfix #3:
 
Changes the header's box type to "inline-block". Crossing my fingers on this one.

Testfix #3a:
 
Changes the header's box type to "inline-table". Crossing my fingers on this one.
 
 
Questions for testers:

Testfix #4:
 
Combines textfix #2 and #3.

...Hopefully one of those will do the trick. If none work, there *are* other solutions we can try. But these are the cleanest, so I thought it best to test 'em first (and hopefully not overwhelm you guys!).
 
Thanks again for being my eyes here,
