Is there a way to emulate a MAC GUI from a PC so that I can see how a
website looks from a MAC? If so, please simply direct me to a program
download area (open source preferred, or free/share ware if possible.)

Thanks

Hello mardi-ga,

There are several approaches you could take here.  The easiest, and
the one I am most familiar with, is to emulate the mac OS on your
Windows (or Linux) computer.   There is a company (
http://www.ardi.com/ ) that provides a software M680x0 CPU and
emulates the mac OS.  Last I checked, there was complete emulation for
system 6, and partial (though it worked for everything I tried)
emulation of 7/8.  This allows you to simply install the software you
want to use, and it will work just as it would on a real mac.

The other approach is to emulate just the hardware (CPU, BIOS, memory,
I/O devices, etc.) and run a real copy of whichever mac OS you want. 
Since Apple's BIOS code is non-public, you must have access to an
actual mac to run a piece of software on to get a copy of this code. 
You also need a copy of the macOS.  The most popular is Basilisk,
which allows you to run any macOS up to 8.1, with recent ROM images. 
See the Basilisk homepage for more information.

I hope this helps,

Thanks. This is the same info I found doing google searches. I was
really simply looking for something that would simulate/emulate what a
website would look like on a mac -- I don't want to run a variety of
software, and I'm concerned about possibly jeopardizing the stability
of my system by making changes to any critical areas. I guess our best
bet is still to pay someone to review the sites before they go live
(which is what we've been doing since we are a PC shop - sometimes the
alignment is off, or the tables look odd, other than that they usually
turn out OK on the MAC.) As a side note to anyone reading this,
Basilisk may not be an option since you still need a copy of MacOS and
a Macintosh ROM image to use it, and the ardi.com folks have been out
of commission since this summer, so be careful if you install it since
tech support is unlikely.

Here's a new application idea ... website developers on any platform
could send a URL to an ASP service, and that ASP service would access
the domain from a variety of browsers and platforms and return to the
user a report of screenshots/captures from each browser type. I used
to keep MACs and PCs in our environment, but with things changing so
rapidly, we had to make a choice of which platform we would maintain.
If we didn't have so many other business services, I would've stayed
with MAC...

THANKS!

Browser Cam does exactly that.
