Sorry - can't let this one go...  Browsers are free you know - either
download the latest version, or get one off a CD on the front of just about
any magazine.  Web designers and coders get really fecked off with this "I
can't be arsed to update my browser / install Flash / get off my own arse"
attitude y'know...

If the luddites had their way we'd all be looking at grey backgrounds, no
images, Times Roman text, and blue underlined hyperlink text.

And don't fob me off with the "a significant proportion of users are still
using level 3 browsers" argument.  3% isn't significant, it's an error
margin.

At the very least you should be using the latest version of your preferred
browser less one.

Rant over.  :-)

Hmph.

Rich.
