Testing Site on Mac

Used G3 - older browser versions obtainable?

I want to make sure that our sites(created on a PC), are displaying o.k. for Macintosh users with relatively recent browser versions.

I was thinking of getting a used G3 (I see some available for $250 - $350) and then installing various browsers on it, just for a quick testing of the sites.

I think this would probably work fine for the most recent browser versions.

I wonder, though, if anyone knows if there is any way to get some slightly older versions of Internet Explorer/Netscape/Opera for the Macintosh, or if I would only be able to get the latest versions...

Version tracker has everything you need:
[versiontracker.com ]

By the way, I suggest you get a blue and white G3 for this, not a beige box. The Blue and Whites are supported machines for some versions of OS X, and have USB so you can plug in your favorite mouse. (Yes, even multi-buttons.)

Thanks very much for the tip on the Blue & White G3 recommendation and the link.

Also, since posting, I found another source for previous version browsers in case it helps anyone else:
