**EarthExplorer will not currently work with Macintosh systems due to the following:
- IE and the Microsoft Virtual Machine does not support LiveConnect for Macintosh systems.
- Old versions of the Java Virtual Machine (Netscape 4.6 and earlier) do not support LiveConnect for Macintosh systems.
- The Java 2 Virtual Machine does not support the original Java applet security model EarthExplorer uses.
- Signed secure applets don't communicate properly through LiveConnect when using the JAVA 2 Virtual Machine on a Macintosh. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160274 for more information.
Macintosh users may search for many of the same products at: http://edc.usgs.gov/webglis. You can also access EarthExplorer using the PC emulation package "Virtual PC" if you have this installed on your system
