I'm not arguing that you can't do great stuff with IE and Netscape 4 and 
greater. I'm saying that if you want to hit the huge population, rather 
than a smaller group, you still have to be IE and Netscape 3 compliant. You 
*can* perform browser detection and keep two parallel sites: one for 
IE/Netscape 3, and the other for newer browsers. That's a lot of work, 
though <g>.
