A simple table but mac user sees scrambled layout

I'm having what should be a trivial problem, but since I don't have a Mac I can't observe it. I created a simple 2x2 table to place four photos, with captions. I originally stuck a photo in each cell, and put the short caption belwo it with a <br> tag.

The site owner viewed it on an old mac and said the lineup was messed up. Figuring it was the BR tag, I went with a new <p> tag to put the caption below the pic. All content is centered in each cell. This apparently made it worse.

I can't imagine simpler HTML than a four cell table, a pic and a line of text in each cell. Is there something really weird about Macs and tables or images? Or am I going to have to break down and find a Mac to check this out?

I have often traced display problems like this to unclosed HTML elements. If you haven't already, try closing all the <td> <tr> etc., and see if that helps.
