Default Different Google search results depending on browser

Has anyone else seen this happen? I did a search for my client's keyphrase and they had the following results:
They were #3 in IE (PC) and #1 in the following Netscape (MAC & PC), Firefox (MAC & PC) and Safari (MAC). All the searches were done with Google. This happens off and on but without any sense of purpose or reason. I can only assume the Google Dance has something to with it, but that it was so browser specific was interesting.

Can you give the search words used, so others can check if it happens to them also?

The keyphrase is "trade show displays" without the quotes. I'm ranking #2 in most browsers and #3 in IE on the PC.

If you're talking about showstopperexhibits.com I'm using IE (PC) and it's #2

Yes, I am. So now it has 3 different results. Even beter. ;-)

Another confusing issue in the SEO world to explain to my clients.

Have you cheched the different data centers? McDar has a good tool for doing that. I've not checked for different results with different browsers, but of late, there's been 3-4 different sets of results rotating within each data center.
