Really? Can I buy books faster on Amazon with IE6? Does CSS support
get me more money in my online account?

My point is that it's not a matter of whether I'm happy, it's whether there
are enough benefits to users. And I really haven't heard any yet.

Users *are* conservative. They won't change unless there's a damned
good reason.

>Did Christopher Columbus stay at home, happy with the world being flat????

No, but did anyone actually move there until there were (perceived)
benefits in
going?

Discover away, but don't expect the world to adopt your discoveries without
a good reason to.

Cheers
Martin
