In fact, you might just be able to save yourself a pile of cash if you avoid IE altogether.

    How is this any better than an IE-only website? It just exchanges one group of disadvantaged surfers for another. If it truly works only through Firefox and Chrome, most blind folks are out in the cold (see ELinks [elinks.or.cz] or Lynx [isc.org]), to mention only the first group that comes to mind.

    What's wrong with Viewabl [anybrowser.org]

When in panic, fear and doubt, Drink in barrels, eat, and shout.
