How do I get internet explorer on a Mac? I'm new. Does it come with Explorer or do I have to download it, and is it free? Does it work well with Macs?
 
It's free, it comes with the computer, and it works okay. Safari and Firefox are also free and are better--mostly because of tabs and pop-up blocking.

I like Explorer on the Mac a lot better than on Windows, but it's still Explorer.
 
The last version of IE released for Mac was 5.2.3, and it has now been discontinued. For this reason, I would not recommend using it unless a site doesn't work in other browsers. There are at least 10 free OS X browsers, and IMO there are quite a few that are better than IE. Like HorrorTaxi, I'd recommend Safari or Firefox.
