I haven't had time to look through the content much, but something on
the front page caught my attention:
- --->This site is optimized for viewing in Internet Explorer 5.
- ---> Netscape browsers may not display content correctly.
It sent a bunch of thoughts swirling around my noggin' (in decreasing
order of rationality):
- what features did you use that break non-IE browsers?
- any problem w/ Mac IE, or will either version work?
- do you have stat's from your site that give you a handle on how
many folks you've abandoned (<-- uh oh...)
- are you using hand-coded html, or are you stuck w/ this
restriction because of your authoring tool's restriction?
- <rant>How could you abandon the noble goal of cross-platform
compatibility???</rant> Seriously, I'm interested in what
motivated/drove the decision.
