Thank you! I've been using Bobby for some time, but managed to never peek 
at the *advanced options*

This does flag problems in browsers, but it doesn't really *show* the results.

Browserola, available from various download sites, is also available, it's 
share ware, and it doesn't do too bad a job -- I only just downloaded it, 
so I don't know if it's accurate. It doesn't do Mac, obviously, but it does 
include WebTv -- which those two systems use completely different 
resolutions and colors will not be rendered accurately on a pc.

There's also a WebTV emulator that is free, http://developer.webtv.net/
