Good point, tell Tom Edison, Al Bell, and Tim Berners-Lee they 
were idiots for "creating an item and then having  to teach people 
how to use it".  Shame on them for thinking thoughts that everyone 
has never thought before! What the hell is this world coming to 
when progress cannot be held off by a grandma and her NN3.02?

Who on this list still programs BBS access? Who will still be 
"degrading gracefully" for NN2.02 in 2009 when it's 15 years old? 
Does anyone here still drive a crank started automobile?  The 
question of leaving old browsers in the dust is simply a question of 
"if not now, when; if not here, where".  The time will even come 
when none of us remember how to code that old dead language 
named HTML.

Don't let the "holier than thou" responses to your post get to ya 
Brian, change happens, they'll get over it.  And hey, I refuse to open 
IE unless I'm paid damned good money to do so. I'm a loyal 
Netscape fan, but I'll get over it....

Cheers
