Design for 2 browsers, and you'll cover the majority. If you include Mozilla in that 'pair' you're going to keep 99% of netcrap users happy, and then use IE5 or 6 to get the other 94% of the internet....

So sorry, Mac guys, but thankfully Safari interprets very close to Firefox.

I agree with Bigjohn on this one, I realy only code for Firefox but yes I do check IE but honestly when it looks good in FF it usually does in everything else

It's a computer especially built for idio... umm... fo-for Mommy's and Daddy's. Okay. Alright Beth. We'll see you... No, I don't wanna talk to him. Alrite, bye.

I think that says all it needs to say about Macs in there... *grins*

(That's Welcome To Internet Helpdesk ala Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie... I highly recommend you go listen to it, avaliable for free somewhere on the internet, but I can't quite find where... Hmm..)

disclaimer: I have nothing against Mac computers. *nods*

And as for schools... it'd be nice if they can keep their software up to date, but considering they're generally lucky to get semi-new hardware every 10 years.. and old computers do have problems running new systems. (I know... my 6 year old desktop goes through some really tough trials). But hey, in a perfect world, they would be.

Why pay? Because I've used Opera for two years and I wasn't comfortable using Firefox. There's nothing wrong with paying for software, especially if you enjoy it. I don't always like taking the cheap route and using free software, though sometimes it's a better software. Nothing against Firefox, but it's way over-hyped and other than web standard compliance overs very little over IE. Most damage to your computer through your browser comes from careless browsing -- which is the users fault.

By the way.. Don't bother trying to fill me in on all the advantages of Firefox over *browser title here* cause I've already decided which browser suits my habits best. Worst people on the web are braggers of Gmail accounts and Firefox preachers.

LOL... oh, and don't forget "linux or death" folk, and "mac-o-philes"

You got it all wrong.. I have nothing against Firefox, but it seems that the users of it are especially eagar to preach it. I just hate preaching in general.
