I know there are programs for Windows that allow you to view your site as if you were using Safari. I need a program for my iBook (OS X) that will allow me to see my sites as if I were using IE6 on Windows. I always forget about the shortcomings of that browser and have to alter my code to work in that environment, so it would be nice to be able to test it out.

You have two options:
A. use Virtual PC, and inside it whatever Explorer for Windows you need
B. Buy a cheap PC and use the real thing.
I ended up doing B

Link, please? I haven't heard of any such program.
My guess is that it's a port of KHTML. That's not really Safari -it takes a little while for Apple's changes to merge back into the main branch- but it is very close in terms of engine. However, this only works because since KHTML is Open-Source, it could be ported to Windows.
Microsoft has never ported Trident -the current IE6 engine- to the Mac. Without the source to Trident, an emulator cannot be written.

That's not an emulator. That's someone that has set up an automated system for taking screenshots of Safari 1.2 running on Panther loading a requested URL.

I found myself in a similar predicament, maXor. In addition to the two options listed before, buying VPC or a real PC, you could also try the following sites:
Browsercam.com
NetMechanic.com
These sites provide screen shots of specified pages in the browser of your choice. I cannot vouch for the quality of these sites; I signed up for netmechanic but never purchased any services. I decided instead that I would use my library to validate web designs when required.
