I recently switched from wondoze to mac

Pretty good so far.
Now Unfortunatley i have an AOL account , and have been trying access ther web based member directory.

For the life of me i cannot get this page to work on my imac.

I have tried
safari-it says use another browser
firefox-url time limit exceeded


Opera-nothing
I even got desperate and downloaded IE for mac.
Still nothing.
I UNDER NO circumstances want to put the crappy aol program on my new machine.
can someone try and access the aol member directory page to see if it works for them
or have any other suggestions.

getting ready to DL camino and give THAT browser a shot..........

Might this be the answer? I wonder if this AOL page can only be accessed for people actually using AOL as a provider? Just a thought..
Or did it work with Earthlink and the pc you had?
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.
